Which of the following is not a protective covering found in arthropods?
Telson
What is protein found in the exoskeleton of arthropods?
Arthropods have exoskeletons made of chitin. However, chitin is not a protein. It is actually a derivative of glucose, which is a carbohydrate.
What is the niche of any given arthropod?
Earthworms decompose dead organisms
What material is the exoskeleton of arthropods comprised?
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.
What are paired appendages?
Paired appendages are limb-like structures that are found in pairs on the body, such as arms and legs in humans. These appendages are typically used for movement, grasping, or manipulation in different organisms. Examples of paired appendages include wings in birds and fins in fish.
What is the location of palps on an insect?
The head is the location of palps on an insect.Specifically, palps function as sensory appendages to the maxilla. The two maxillae move food for optimal mastication. Above the paired maxillae will be found the paired mandibles, one on each side of the chewing insect's head.
What is the definition of antenna?
Antennae: One of the many paired, ductile, segmented sensory appendages on the head of an insect, or crustacean working essentially as an organ of touch. or a metal device that sends or receives electromagnetic waves for radios, usually found in cars or trucks. I hope this helps. If this does not help answer your question, try looking for the definition at Dictionary.com.
What kind of spider has long antennae?
Spiders do not have antennae. Antennae are sensory organs found on insects and some other arthropods, but not on spiders.
What is the difference between chelicetara and other arthropods?
Chelicerae are specialized feeding appendages found in chelicerates, a subphylum of arthropods that includes spiders, scorpions, and horseshoe crabs. They are used for grasping and tearing food. Other arthropods, such as insects and crustaceans, have different types of mouthparts for feeding, like mandibles or maxillae.
What does attenae mean?
"Attenae" is a term often used in biological contexts, typically referring to "antennae," which are sensory appendages found on the heads of insects and other arthropods. They serve various functions, including detecting odors, vibrations, and other environmental stimuli. The plural form "antennae" can also refer to similar structures in other organisms, such as crustaceans.
Where do phylum arthropoda lives?
arthropods are invertebrates with segmented bodies, exoskeletons, and jointed appendages. anthropoda is Greek: arthron 'joint' and podos 'foot.'arthropods can be found just about anywhere.
What are five types of arthropods that live in the ocean?
An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages, more than three out of four of all animals are arthropods. Arthropods found in the ocean include:crustaceans - crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Microscopic plankton and Branchiopoda - Cephalocarida - Malacostraca Maxillopoda - Ostracoda
How is parapodia different from tube feet?
Parapodia are paired appendages found on polychetes, or marine worms, which are used for movement. Tube feet are found on echinoderms, like sea stars, which are also used for movement.
What are appendages found on the head of a crayfish?
it is the antenna, antennule, rostrum, and the maxillipeds (feeding appendages).
What is the similarities of arthropods?
Since arachnids are simply a subgroup of arthropods, all characteristics of arachnids are also an example of arthropod characteristics by definition (notwithstanding, all arthropods won't share specific arachnid characteristics).
What is the heads of some arthropods have that contain sense organs?
The first couple segments of the bodies of most arthropods contain antennae which have sensory functions; for example humidity in insects, the touch sense, and often the chemical sense which would equate to our ability to taste and smell. Sometimes chemical receptors are on arthropods' legs or feet; those without antenna like the arachnids may have additional appendage pairs adapted for sensory functions. The crustaceans have biramous (branching) antenna organized like two pairs with the smaller pair called antennules. The maxillae are arthropods mouthparts which are used to manipulate food and often also have the taste function; and antennae in some arthropods have also been found to be used for non-sensory purposes like signalling.
