exoskeleton
Arthropods have a skeleton on the outside, called an exoskeleton. (By contrast, vertebrates will have an internal skeleton or endoskeleton). The exoskeleton of arthropoda is made of a tough protein called chitin, a long chain polymer comparable to cellulose. It fills the same role as the protein keratin in other animals where it would be found in hair, nails, hooves, claws, beaks, etc. Some arthropods, like crustaceans, further harden their chitin exoskeleton by biomineralization with calcium carbonate. Because it is inflexible, the organism has to periodically shed it (moult) in order to grow, a process called ecdysis.
Arthropod skeletons differ from ours in that they are external, or exoskeletons. By contrast ours are internal, or endoskeletons.
Hornets with their jointed limbs and chitinous exoskeletons are most definitely arthropods, under Arthropoda's subphylum Hexapoda, along with all other insects.
No, bunnies have a backbone (spine) and are chordates (phylum Chordata) along with other mammals, lizards, birds, amphibians, etc. To be an arthropod (phylum Arthropoda) you'd need to have an external skeleton (exoskeleon) made from chitin.
Earwigs do belong to the Phylum of Arthropods. The characteristics of arthropods is an external skeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages.
No, at least not in the backbone sense. Arthropods have their skeleton on the outside (exoskeleton); spines or vertebral columns are characteristic of vertebrates under a different phylum - Chordata, including fish, birds, mammals, etc.
no
No. It does not have an external skeleton, which is one of the main characteristics of an arthropod.
They have a skeleton & are therefore Vertebrates
invertebrates are different from vertebrates because invertebrates have no backbone or have an outer skeleton. e.g a worm has no backbone e.g arthropods (insects) have an outer skeleton. if you were to stand on an arthropod (but dont because it is awfully cruel) you would hear/feel a crunch because its outer skeleton is breaking. f u
As the arthropod grows up, the exoskeleton sheds in order for the arthropod to grow inside of it.
All vertebrates have skeleton .
Arthropod is a phylum within the vertebrate kingdom. Arthropods have a backbone.
The defining characteristic of a Vertebrate is an internal skeleton. Orangutans have an internal skeleton so they are vertebrates.
The external skeleton used by arthropods is called an exoskeleton.
Vertebrates are defined as having a spine and internal skeleton.
bone
A plate of cartilage, or a series of bony or cartilaginous plates or segments, in the median line of the pectoral skeleton of most vertebrates above fishes; the breastbone., The ventral part of any one of the somites of an arthropod.
