No, snails are molluscs (phylum mollusca), different from phylum arthropoda (arthropods). Arthropods are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
In the mollusc phylum, you will see members like the cephalopods including octopi, squid and cuttlefish; or gastropods like snails and slugs.
Does an arthropod have a backbone?
Arthropods don't have backbones. The vertebral column or spine comprises individual bones (vertebrae) as part of an internal skeleton or endoskeleton. Arthropods by contrast have no bony internal skeleton, instead they rely on a chitinous external or exoskeleton, consequently they also evidence the joint appendages and segmented body which characterize the phylum.
What type of environments do arthropods live in?
A variety of environments. Crustaceans live in watery places, etc.
What is the MAIN features of arthropoD?
An arthropod's main features are the segmented body, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
Relate trilobite eye type to lifestyle type?
Trilobites with flat eyes lived above the surface of the ocean floor, those with stalks burrowed below it. Those with very large or no eyes may have lived in lightless depths; those with all-round vision may have been prey, while those with binocular vision may have been predators. Just like animals living today, really.
Where are an arthropod's antennae located?
For those arthropods with antennae, they will appear on the head. The location and count depends on the subphylum or group; for trilobites, hexapods (including insects) and myriapods they are located on the first body segment; for crustaceans which have two pairs they are located on the first and second body segments, with the smaller pair called antennules. Arachnids including spiders and scorpions have no antennae.
The most well-known ones are crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, water fleas etc. but also barnacles!)
Where does gas exchange occur in terrestrial arthropods?
Terrestrial arthropods have a series of openings called spiracles at the body surface. Spiracles open into tiny air tubes called tracheae, which expand into fine branches that extend into all parts of the arthropod body
Why is a tick bite more a concern than a spider bite?
Well, spiders bite and then leave.
Ticks don't bite, they bury their heads in your skin. Little more dangerous, I think so...
Ticks also spread lyme disease, which is deadly.
The American lobster and European lobster belong to genus Homarus (H americanus and H. gammarus respectively). The Cape lobster was moved to genus Homarinus.
What are the parts of an Arthropod's respiratory system?
Anthropods inhale through small holes on the sides of their bodies,known as spiracles. Theair find its way into the windpipe or trachea,where oxygen is absorbed into blood
How long could a two striped walking stick live?
Your going to have to be more specific of what it looks like or where you found it otherwise I can't find out what it is.
If You Took All The Atoms At Of A Chair What Would Be Left?
Nothing, a chair (and pretty much everything else) is entirely made of atoms. So is air. In between of the atoms is only vacuum, which is a fancy word for nothing at all. =P
Which arthropod class are most aquatic?
Branchiopods appear to be entirely aquatic although some live in fresh and some in salt water. The arthropod subphylum Crustacea is rich with aquatic organisms, and the subphylum most prone to have mostly aquatic classes. The classes include Branchiopoda, Remipedia, Cephalocarida, Maxillopoda, Ostracoda and Malacostraca. Many of these will have non-aquatic exceptional species in their classification. The Cephalocarida for example are benthic but found in the intertidal zone. Malacostraca with the lobsters, crabs, shrimp etc. are mostly aquatic but again will evidence exceptions like the terrestrial woodlice. Ostracoda are again mostly aquatic, but have exceptions living on moist forest soil, etc.
Do pearls come from arthropods?
Pearls come from pearl oysters which are bivalves belonging to phylum Mollusca (the molluscs); a different phylum than Arthropoda (the arthropods).
Which arthropod group has tube feet?
None. The phylum Arthropoda does not have tube feet, only the phylum Echinodermata has (starfish, sea urchins, etc.). Echinoderms are not arthropods! ^^
How do you get rid of weird acid spitting arthropod?
whack it. preferably with a broom or a hardened sea sponge
When appendages form in unusual places what mutates?
That could be an error in the hox genes, which determine where certain body parts gro in just about all parts of the body. It could also be something affecting the signal proteins on the surface of the animal's cells The proteins help coordinate what types of cells form next to others.
What body parts of a lobster help it to live in its habitat besides its claws?
Its internal gills, and armour.
