What arthropods dominate the sea?
Krill, found in all of Earth's oceans, are estimated to have the largest biomass of any animal on earth, amounting to something between half and three quarters of a billion tonnes. Commercial fishing for human consumption and use amounts to a couple hundred thousand tonnes annually. They live off plankton and support a large food chain, sometimes swarming in concentrations of around 50,000 individuals per cubic meter.
What kind of tails do lobsters have?
The tail of the lobster is often intended to indicate the muscular, chitin-plated articulated segmented abdomen (which ends up with butter and lemon on your dinner plate); which has six segments and bears pleopods (swimmerets). At the terminus of the abdomen are the uropods (on the outside), which together with a telson (center) form the lobster's tail fan, which among other functions assists in locomotion in an escape behavior shared by other decapods called the caridoid escape reaction.
What are name of the seven common characteristics of all arthropods?
Insects are arthropods with jointed appendages, segmented bodies, and an exoskeleton composed of chitin. Insects are in the class Insecta, & are the largest and most diverse group of animals on earth. The genus Romalea is a large grasshopper common in the southeastern United States. Insects have three body regions (head, thorax, & abdomen), 3 pairs of legs attached to the thorax, a single pair of antenna attached to the head, mouthparts adapted for chewing or sucking, and two pairs of wings. Some insects may have a single pair of wings or be wingless. Insect legs are often adapted for digging, crawling, jumping, or swimming. The insects are mostly terrestrial, they breathe air which enters small lateral openings on the body called spiracles and circulates in a system of ducts to all organs and tissues. Their chewing or sucking mouth parts are adapted for feeding on plant or animal materials.
What are the millipedes enemies?
Millipedes have numerous predators. They are preyed on by reptiles, amphibians, birds, hedgehogs, mongooses, scorpions, shrews, and some other insects.
No, rabbits are chordates - phylum Chordata, a different phylum than Arthropoda (the arthropods). Pretty much anything with an internal skeleton and backbone like mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, will be chordates. Arthropods have their skeleton on the outside (exoskeleton), like the insects or crustaceans.
A blind shrimp is an arthropod often found in cave systems. They live in fresh water and get swept into the cave where there is no light. Over many generations, they lose their eyes because they don't need them. Hence, blind shrimp.
Leeches aren't arthropods (phylum Arthropoda), they belong to Annelida, the same phylum as a garden earthworm. Arthropods are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
How do arthropods communicate with each other?
Pheromones, antenna contact and the bee dance are a few examples.
What distinguishes arthropod subphylums from each other?
Under arthropoda are subphyla Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. (There is also an extinct class Marrellomorpha and an the extinct Trilobite subphylum). The chelicerata, like spiders, scorpions, mites, etc., get their name from having appendages appear before the mouth; myriapods like centipedes and millipedes characterized by a high count of body segments and legs; crustaceans like crabs, shrimp, woodlice characterized by their biramous (two-part) limbs and the nauplius larval form; hexapoda named for their consolidated thorax with only three pairs of legs.
An arthropod is vulnerable to predators during the molting period because?
Its new exoskeleton is soft.
What does a lobster's name mean?
The word's origin comes from middle English "lopster" which comes from old English "loppestre" which means, spidery creature.
What is the common name for anthropod?
Anthropods are commonly referred to as human or humanoid; this should not be confused with arthropods (phylum Arthropoda) which is characterized by jointed appendages, segmented bodies, and exoskeletons - such as insects and crustaceans.
I am not sure what you want to calculate; anyway, the square root of a negative number is a complex number: in this case, "i" multiplied by the square root of 7. The remaining calculations will also result in complex numbers. When you calculate points, you usually want a real number, not a complex number.
What is the most abundant subphylum of marine arthropods?
Crustaceans, containing crabs, lobsters, hermit crabs (form of lobster, ironically), barnacles, water fleas, crab sacs and more.
What characteristics distinguishes crustaceans from all other arthropods?
Their ten walking legs, and their split nature (biramous). All their legs are tiny pincers matching the main ones, unless the segment is fused.
Who is the lobster in futurama?
The lobster-like alien character from Futurama is Dr John A Zoidberg, or simply "Zoidberg". Interestingly enough he comes from planet Decapod 10 - and lobsters are decapods (loosely, ten legged).
What would happen to a arthropod that had malformed malpighian tubules?
the insect will explode due to lack of descreteing its waste
What are the characteristics of 8 groups of invertebrates?
the 8 groups of invertebrates are the arthropods, poriferans, platyheminthes, coelenterates, nematoeds, mollusks, echinoderms, and annelids
How long will lobster last in fridge?
This food will only last a few days. 3 days in the refrigerator if the food is stored properly. Place in an air tight container for the best results. You can transfer the food to the freezer if longer storage is needed.
What arthropod lives in high altitude?
The highest living arthropod is Euophrys omnisuperstes, literally 'living above everything else', a fluffy white jumping spider. It feeds on other arthropods that are blown up to its altitude, atop Mount Everest! Other arthropods above the snowline are fly species, mosquitos, bumblebees and other flyers. Bumblebees are frequent, others are there accidentally, mostly.
Chitin is found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungus.
