No. Leeches are annelids, also known as segmented worms.
No: in fact, parasites such as flatworms and roundworms also prey on earthworms. Earthworms are highly beneficial, not feeding off living organisms, but breaking down decomposing organic material.
no, i dont know what they are, but they are not arthropods
NO. Arthropods do not have a 4 chambered hearts.
Do arthropods have backbones?No, it is the exoskeleton that holds the arthropod's body together. arthropods are invertebrates, which means they do not have backbones.
Yes, all arthropods have brains.
There are three groups of parasites, these are: (i)Protozoan (ii) Helminthes (iii) Arthropods.

Arthropods have diverse diets depending on their species. They can be herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, scavengers, or parasites. Some common foods include plants, other insects, decaying matter, blood, nectar, and even small animals.
It is estimated that there are over 1,000 species of parasites that can parasitize humans, including worms, protozoa, and arthropods. The number of parasites in the body can vary depending on the type of parasite and the individual's exposure to them. However, most healthy individuals may have a few parasites without experiencing any symptoms or harm.
Molting is necessary for arthropods because it allows them to grow and develop. As arthropods grow, their exoskeleton becomes too small and rigid, so they shed it through molting to make room for their larger bodies. This process also helps them repair any damage to their exoskeleton and remove any parasites or infections.
Molting in snakes involves shedding their outer layer of skin in one piece, while molting in arthropods involves shedding their exoskeleton in multiple stages. Snakes shed their skin to accommodate growth and remove parasites, while arthropods molt to grow and repair damage to their exoskeleton. Additionally, molting in snakes is generally less frequent compared to arthropods.
No: in fact, parasites such as flatworms and roundworms also prey on earthworms. Earthworms are highly beneficial, not feeding off living organisms, but breaking down decomposing organic material.
They express the characteristics inherent to arthropods. All insects are arthropods. Not all arthropods are insects.
No. Mites are parasitic arthropods. They are external parasites, meaning that they do not penetrate the body. They may cause an infestation, but not a disease (or an infection). However, they can be vectors of disease, such as typhus and rickettsialpox.
NO Mammals are not arthropods. Arthropods are insects.
arthropods are eukaryotic because arthropods are animals.
