Do arthropods have a spine?
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.
How are arthropods supported?
The body of arthropods is physically supported by an external skeleton (exoskeleton) made of a tough protein called chitin. Because it is inflexible, arthropods need to shed it entirely in order to grow in size.
Arthropods have a hard outer skeleton and?
Yes. Arthropods are characterized by an exoskeleton made mostly from the tough protein chitin, also joint appendages and segmented bodies.
Where is an arthropods skeleton?
Arthropod have exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is composed of a thin, outer protein layer, the epicuticle, and a thick, inner, chitin–protein layer.
Is a tiger an arthropod?
No, tigers are chordates - phylum Chordata, a different phylum than Arthropoda (the arthropods). Pretty much anything with an internal skeleton and backbone like mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, will be chordates. Arthropods have their skeleton on the outside (exoskeleton), like the insects or crustaceans.
Are all arthropods invertebret?
Correct, arthropods don't have vertebrae (spinal column) or an internal skeleton, instead they have an exoskeleton (external), made from a tough protein, chitin.
How Arthropods alike?
they all have exo skeleton
How are the words mollusks and arthropods similar?

What word an be used for outside of a skeleton arthropod?

What kind of skeleton does a centipede have?
As with all arthropods, it has an exoskelton.
Does aWoodlouse have a skeleton?
No, they are crustaceans which are arthropods which are invertebrates. This means they have an exoskeleton.
How are arthropods different from invertebrates?
Arthropods are invertebrates. An invertebrate is an animal without an internal skeleton and that's exactly what an arthropod is.
How are the skeleton and the shell of a crab alike?
The skeleton and shell of a crab are synonymous. What we'd call the shell of a crab is simply a component of its exoskeleton, the external covering arthropods use made out of a tough protein, chitin.
Do praying mantis have backbones?
No. Like all insects and all arthropods, praying mantises have an external skeleton (their skin is their skeleton).
How are arthropods supported?
The body of arthropods is physically supported by an external skeleton (exoskeleton) made of a tough protein called chitin. Because it is inflexible, arthropods need to shed it entirely in order to grow in size.
Do bees have spines?
No, they are invertebraes. All arthropods, bees included, have an external skeleton.
