Are centipedes segmented?
yes.
Is a centipede a segmented worm?
No. Segmented worms are "annelids", like earthworms. Centipedes belong to the class chilopoda, along with other centipedes. They are also part of the phylum arthropoda, which is an entirely separate phylum from segmented worms.
Which type of animals are believed to have involved from segmented worms?
The arthropods (for instance, centipedes) are believed to have descended from the annelids (segmented worms).
Is a centiped a arthropod?
Yes, centipedes are arthropods; they have joint appendages and segmented body with pairs of legs per segment.
Are centipedes crustaceans?
No, centipedes are not crustaceans. Centipedes are arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda, while crustaceans belong to the class Crustacea. Centipedes are characterized by their elongated bodies and numerous legs, while crustaceans typically have segmented bodies with hard exoskeletons and jointed appendages.
What has either one or two pairs of legs on their many segmented bodies?
centipedes have 1 pair milipedes have 2 pairs
What are the examples of myriapoda?
Examples of myriapoda include centipedes and millipedes. These arthropods are characterized by having numerous legs and segmented bodies. They play important roles in ecosystems as decomposers and predators.
Why are centipedes in the phylum arthropoda?
Centipedes and other myriapods (like millipedes) belong in Arthropoda because they possess the physical and functional properties deemed characteristic of phylum arthropoda: joint appendages (legs, antennae), segmented body, and the chitinous exoskeleton.
What group of animals are the largest and most diverse of all animals and have segmented bodies supported by an exoskeleton?
Anthropods is the largest and most diverse of all animals. These animals have segmented bodies that are supported by an exoskeleton. This group includes spiders, crustaceans, millipedes, and centipedes.
Is a milipeed an arthropod?
Yes indeed centipedes and millipedes are arthropods; having the classic arthropod characteristics of segmented bodies, joint appendages, and an exoskeleton. They fall under the myriapod ("many-legs") subphylum below phylum Arthropoda (a separate grouping from the insects).
What animals are arthropods?
Arthropods include insects (such as ants, bees, and butterflies), arachnids (such as spiders and scorpions), crustaceans (such as crabs and shrimp), and myriapods (such as centipedes and millipedes). They are characterized by their jointed legs, segmented bodies, and hard exoskeleton.
Is a millipede is a worm?
No. Millipedes are myriapods, meaning "many feet". Centipedes are also myriapods. Segmented worms are annelids; earthworms and leaches belong to this group. Also, myriapods are arthropods; annelids are not.
