Arthropods are members of the phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον árthron, "joint", and ποδός podós "foot", which together mean "jointed feet"), and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and others. Arthropods are characterized by their jointed limbs and cuticles, which are mainly made of α-chitin; the cuticles of crustaceans are also biomineralized with calcium carbonate

Answer 2

It is animal with a segmented body, exoskeleton and jointed appendages, belonging to the phylum Arthropoda. Examples are insects, Spiders, scorpions, millipedes, crayfish, crabs, trilobites, and many other groups are all arthropods.

A terrestrial arthropod also breathes air at some stage in its life cycle.

Arthropods are characterized by their jointed limbs and cuticles, which are mainly made of α-chitin; the cuticles of crustaceans are also biomineralized with calcium carbonate

Answer 4

Under the arthropoda phylum are subphyla Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. (There is also an extinct class Marrellomorpha and an the extinct Trilobite subphylum). The chelicerata, like spiders, scorpions, mites, etc., get their name from having appendages appear before the mouth; myriapods like centipedes and millipedes characterized by a high count of body segments and legs; crustaceans like crabs, shrimp, woodlice characterized by their biramous (two-part) limbs and a nauplius larval form; hexapoda (with the class Insecta, the insects) named for their consolidated thorax with only three pairs of legs.

Answer 5

The term 'arthropod' transliterates into joint-leg or joint-feet; it comes from the Greek arthro [arthron] (joint) and pod [pous, podos] (meaning foot or leg) hence, the jointed appendages characterization of the phylum.

Answer 6

An arthropod are invertebrates with exoskeletons there are many of them. Some are bugs, and have jointed legs.

Answer 7

An organism with joint appendages, a segmented body, and an exoskeleton.
