class cyclostomata are without jaws
there eg are :
petromyzon
myxine
The lower an organism is in the food chain the greater its population.
Yes, lobsters are one of the creatures that are capable of regenerating limbs. Also, lobsters have been known to cut off their own limbs as a survival mechanism too.
Chitin has two notably good qualities as an exoskeleton. Since it is a type of protein, it is relatively easy for arthropods to make. And it is quite tough. Its properties are similar to the protein keratin, which is used by mammals for making hair, nails, and horns.
Yes. A nematode is covered by a tough cuticle that is periodically shed through ecdysis.
No. A unicellular organism is an organism made up of ONE CELL, so they're all microscopic. Microscopic means that you can't see it it without a microscope. And you can see a sea urchin, so it is not microscopic, so it's not unicellular.
An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Arthropods are members of the phylumArthropoda(from Greek ἄÏθÏον arthron, "joint", and ποδός podos"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. The rigid cuticle inhibits growth, so arthropods replace it periodically by molting. The arthropodbody plan consists of repeated segments, each with a pair of appendages. It is so versatile that they have been compared to Swiss Army knives, and it has enabled them to become the most species-rich members of all ecological guilds in most environments. They have over a million described species, making up more than 80% of all described living animal species, and are one of only two animal groups that are very successful in dry environments - the other being the amniotes. They range in size from microscopic planktonup to forms a few meters long.
Arthropods are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages. They have an internal body cavity (hemocoel) and an open circulatory system which employs hemolymph, a fluid that does not distinguish between interstitial fluid like lymph and oxygen carrying fluid like blood as in most vertebrates. They use a copper-based oxygen carrier molecule instead of the iron-based hemoglobin, which floats unbound around in the hemolymph and is not bound to blood cell proteins. They do not have a dedicated and separate branch of their circulatory system just to oxygenate; internal organs (and cells) are simply bathed in this fluid. Their nervous system is 'ladder-like' on their ventral surface, and their brains formed around the esophagus from fused segment nerve ganglia.
Some of these adaptations of butterflies
are that they can fly
and also they pollinate flowers.
The true count of living arthropods at any given moment on Earth is unknown but some estimates place it at around ten quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) which is over a billion for every human.
The head, thorax and abdomen are one so a three peice body, three pirs of legs and I can not think of the third...
They have muscles like us, except theirs are smaller and are connected to the inside of their exoskeletons, instead of wrapping around the endoskeleton like we have.

The name for phylum Arthropoda is derived from "jointed legs" or jointed feet, and arthropods live up to that name. Because of the rigidity of the exoskeleton, joints are apparent in any of their mobile appendages; not just legs but some specialized appendages like swimmerets for aquatic arthropods, antennae, wings, all evidence some kind of jointing. Legs themselves may have specialized adaptations; some insects hear or taste with special organs on the legs or feet. Some crustaceans have legs bearing claws (chela) called chelipeds.
You are describing insects.
All insects have 6 legs, one pair of antennas and three body sections.
Some examples are:
Arthropods are not just insects--they are very interesting animals, smaller then a beetle & a lighter color.
I have had experience with arthropods, a.k.a. rolly pollys, so I know a lot about them. Arthropods move much faster then beetles, smaller, lightening in color, and much younger. They are still in their developing stage to become strong darkling beetles!
There are 2 ways to hold an arthropod:
1. Beginner way:
If you are just a beginner hold the little critters, gently pick up your arthropod and scoop it up on a spoon (make sure it is NOT upside down! arthoropods could die if they are upside down too long because they can't get themselves up) After scooping it up in your spoon, gently put it on your PALM and curl your hands LIGHTLY to let it feel safe. Let it crawl around and when you are done with it, gently put it back in the container using the spoon.
2. Experienced way:
If you are an experienced expert with arthropods, it will be easy for you! Pick up your arthropod. You don't need it with a spoon if you know a lot abuot their life cycle. Gently put it on your hand and let it crawl around, making sure it's safe. Experienced experts with arthropods can also let them crawl on their arm, and even a pencil!
make sure if you are a beginner arthropod holder, that you make sure you're not scared of the insects. Being scared can cause serious injuries or even death to the arthropod, so be careful! Ask an expert to help you if you need help. You'll soon get used to it. =)
Hope this info helped!
