Arthropods

Arthropods have segmented bodies and exoskeletons. Some types of arthropods are crustaceans, insects, and arachnids.

What are the five major classes of Arthropods?

The five major classes of arthropods are as follows with one example each: 1. Arachnida; Ex. spiders 2. Crustacea; Ex. crabs 3. Diplopoda; Ex. millipedes 4. Chilopoda; Ex. centapedes 5. Insecta or Hexopoda (insects)

Which organism would be classified as an arthopod?

Insects, arachnids, crustaceans and centi/millipedes.

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 group of arthropod does this organism belong to?

Arthropoda itself is a phylum. It does have subphyla, namely, Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. There is also an extinct class Marrellomorpha and an extinct Trilobite subphylum.

Do millipedes have over 100 legs?

Millipedes actually do NOT have over 1000 legs (milli = thousand). The word comes from Latin roots mille ("thousand") and pes ("foot"). Millipedes just appear to have a 'thousand' legs. Common millipedes only have 36 to 400 legs. A rare variety has up to 700 legs.

What is an arthropod with two body sections and four pairs of legs?

That'd be an arachnid, most likely a spider. Spiders have a cephalothorax ('head chest', exactly what it sounds like) and an abdomen (butt, containing vital organs), and four pairs of walking legs.

What percent of animals species are arthropods?

At least 75%. In species, in number of individuals, but also in pure weight they cover a massive part of all animals. Just the ants in the Amazon alone weigh more than all humans put together.

Basically we live in a world of arthropods, and mainly insects at that.

Do lobsters have internal organs?

Unlike us humans with an internal or endoskeleton, the lobster relies upon its outer skin or exoskeleton both for support and for its armor. The internal organs are protected by this hard outer shell, made from chitin, a very tough protein used by other crustaceans and by insects. It is similar to the hard protein keratin in your fingernails and hair. You might also argue that the lobster is mostly protected by its own behavior - avoiding predators by hiding in crags. This is especially important when the lobster moults periodically, since the shell can't grow it has to shed it, then wait for the new shell to harden.

What is a major characteristic of arthropods?

Because they are cold blooded little buggers with exoskeletons, they can readily adapt to any environment and they produce faster than rabbits. To add to this, they are very diverse and spread evenly around the globe in all environments

What is the importance of killing Arthropods?

Do you mean arthropods? If so, your question needs to be more specific. According to National Geographic, arthropods are the single most diverse group of animals. Among that group, you can find a variety from butterflies to tarantulas to horseshoe crabs to ticks to lobsters. So as far as what arthropods kill, you would have to narrow your focus.

How many sections are arthropods divided into?

The three main classes of arthropods are: insects (cockroachs, ants, flies, bees, beetles, butterflies), crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles) and arachnids (scorpions, spiders, mites). Other classes are onychophorans (velvet worms), diplopods (millipedes) and chilopods (centipedes).

What happens to arthropods during molting?

When it grows to big for its exoskeleton, like a hermit crab.

How do arthropods respond to stimuli?

They have a central nervous system, I think.

What are some specific characteristics of the arthropod class?

The arthropods fall into a categorization (taxon) called a phylum (in taxonomic nomenclature there is an entity called a 'class' which is below the phyla). Arthropods have segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.

Why do arthropods hide after molting?

The main reason is how weak and vulnerable they are just after molting. The new exoskeleton is still soft to allow growth of the animal. The other is the reason they hide DURING molting - it renders them immobile, some species have to lie on their back for hours on end and can't defend themselves.

What arthropod group is the giraffe weevil in?

The online game site does not reflect the name of an actual arthropod. The real weevil falls under the coleoptera group (beetles). Its partial taxonomy might read:

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Arthropoda

Class: Insecta

Order: Coleoptera

Suborder: Polyphaga

Infraorder: Cucujiformia

Superfamily: Curculionoidea

Under the superfamily are several weevil families:

Anthribidae - fungus weevil

Attelabidae - leaf rolling weevil

Belidae - primitive weevil

Brentidae - straight snout weevil

Caridae - Gondwanan weevil

Curculionidae - true weevil

Nemonychidae - pine flower weevil.

What is a animal or person that is being hunted called?

A person who hunts animals for their fur is called a fur trapper.

How has the appendages of arthropods changed over evolution?

The modifications of arthropod appendages has shaped the formation of different groups, such as centi/millipedes, crustaceans, arachnids and insects. The most primitive arthropods are centipedes and millipedes, using all their legs as walking legs. More advanced groups, differing from this ancestral state, modified their walking legs into mouthparts, antennae, pedipalps (arachnids) or flippers (crustaceans, look at a lobster tail).

Look carefully at an insect face and you'll see it's a fused mess of segments with the legs still attached! Stick insects and beetles are a good example, other groups have modified their palps (mouth-legs) into unrecognizable structures such as mosquito or butterfly probosci.

What is an air opening in the abdomen of an arthropod?

The air openings on abdominal segments of terrestrial arthropods would be spiracles, which connect to the trachea and tracheoles to directly oxygenate tissues and remove waste gasses. The spiracles are regulated by muscles to open or close to reduce water loss.

What kind of an eye do arthropods have?

Arthropods which possess 8 legs belong to sub phylum Arachnida . They include spiders , scorpions and mites .

What are the names of common garden arthropods?

Examples of arthropods are crustaceans like crabs, lobsters, shrimp, krill and prawns; arachnids containing all the true spiders; hexapoda including the insects, and myriapods like centipedes and millipedes.

Is an earwig a arthropod?

Earwigs do belong to the Phylum of Arthropods. The characteristics of arthropods is an external skeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages.

What characteristics do the animals need to be an arthropod?

If you're going to be classified as an arthropod, you'd need to have a segmented body, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
