No for arthropods; yes for some molluscs. The larger aquatic arthropods like lobsters and crabs accomplish gas exchange using gills. Smaller ones like the land-based insects have holes (spiracles) in the exoskeleton and a tube system to facilitate gas exchange necessary for respiration. In this case, unlike mammals which use lungs to oxgenate blood which is pumped to the tissues, the tracheal tubes from the spiracles deliver oxygen directly to the tissues. Aquatic molluscs have gills for gas exchange whereas molluscs adapted to live on land like snails do have a lung.
What else can I help you with?
What do mollusks have in common with arthopods?
Arthropods have the common characteristics of exoskeletons made of chitin, necessitating the further characteristics of segmented bodies and joint appendages. The phylum's name arthropoda comes from the greek meaning jointed legs or feet.
What type of arthropods is a woodlouse?
Woodlice are crustaceans, like crabs and lobsters. They have gills like them, not lungs, so they only live in damp places!
Do aquatic arthropods exchange gases through a tracheal tubes b gills c their exoskeleton d book lungs?
Aquatic arthropods mostly exchange gases through (c) gills; some (like the horseshoe crabs) have book gills. The "book lungs" term usually applies to most arachnids like scorpions and spiders, which are terrestrial; most other terrestrial arthropods exchange gases through special holes in their segments called spiracles, attached to the tracheal tubules/tracheola which connect directly to the tissues.
Are sanddollars arthropods?
no, i dont know what they are, but they are not arthropods
How many hearts do Arthropods have?
NO. Arthropods do not have a 4 chambered hearts.
What characteristic distinguishes arthropods and mollusks?
Mollusks compose of the large phylum of invertebrate animals known as the Mollusca. Mollusks have a mantle, mollusks invertebrate. Arthropods have jointed appendages, arthropods have segmented bodies
How are arthropods and mullusks the same?
Arthropods have an exoskeleton. Mollusks don't.
Are scorpions annelids flatworms mollusks arthropods cnidarians or echinoderm?
a scorpion is a Arthropods
How are vertebrates different from mollusk and arthropods?
Vertebrates have spinal cords. Mollusks and arthropods do not.
How are the words mollusks and arthropods similar?
because they have no skeleton.
What is closer related to humans mollusks or arthropods?
Arthropods are more closely related to humans than mollusks. Both humans and arthropods belong to the larger group called Ecdysozoa, which is characterized by molting exoskeletons, while mollusks belong to a separate group called Lophotrochozoa. This evolutionary relationship places arthropods and humans closer on the tree of life.
Which animal is not a arthopods?
Sponges, Cnidarians, Mollusks, and Echinoderms are not Arthropods.
The first land animals belong to which group A arthropods B echinoderms C mollusks D vertebrates?
A. Arthropods
What is the groups of invertebrates?

Which groups of invertebrates are protostomes?
Flatworms, Roundworms, Annelids, Mollusks, and Arthropods
Is a lobster a echinoderms or a mollusks?
Lobsters are neither echinoderms nor mollusks like clams. They are also not arachnids. Instead, they are crustaceans, a subsection of arthropods.
How many mollusks are there in the world?
There are over 50,000 known species of Mollusks! That figure makes them second only to the Arthropods in invertebrate phylum size.
