How are arthropods classified into 5 groups?
- A.
Insects, Birds, Fish, Mammals, Arachnids
- B.
Insects, Crustaceans, Arachnids, Centipedes, Millipedes
- C.
Centipedes, Insects, Fish, Mammals, Birds
- D.
Birds, Millipedes, Insects, Arachnids, Centipedes
Correct Answer
B. Insects, Crustaceans, Arachnids, Centipedes, MillipedesExplanation
Arthropods are classified into five groups based on their characteristics and similarities. The correct answer is "Insects, Crustaceans, Arachnids, Centipedes, Millipedes." Insects are the largest group and have three body segments, six legs, and usually have wings. Crustaceans include animals like crabs, lobsters, and shrimp, which have a hard exoskeleton and two pairs of antennae. Arachnids, such as spiders and scorpions, have two body segments and eight legs. Centipedes have a long, segmented body and many legs, while millipedes have a similar body structure but with more legs. These five groups cover a wide range of arthropods with distinct characteristics.Rate this question:

What are the characteristics of Insects?
- A.
Two body regions, three pairs of legs, no antennae
- B.
Two body regions, two pairs of legs, one pair of antennae
- C.
Three body regions, three pairs of legs, no antennae
- D.
Three body regions, three pair of legs, one antennae
Correct Answer
D. Three body regions, three pair of legs, one antennaeExplanation
The correct answer is "three body regions, three pair of legs, one antennae". Insects have three distinct body regions: the head, thorax, and abdomen. They also have three pairs of legs, which are attached to the thorax. Additionally, they possess one pair of antennae, which are used for sensory perception.Rate this question:

What are the characteristics of Arachnids?
- A.
Two body regions, four pairs of legs, one pair of antennae
- B.
One or two body regions, four pairs of legs, no antennae
- C.
One or two body regions, four pairs of legs, one pair of antennae
- D.
One body regions, three pairs of legs, one pair of antennae
Correct Answer
C. One or two body regions, four pairs of legs, one pair of antennaeExplanation
Arachnids are characterized by having one or two body regions, four pairs of legs, and one pair of antennae. This means that they can have either a fused head and thorax (one body region) or a separate head and thorax (two body regions). They always have four pairs of legs and typically have one pair of antennae, which are sensory appendages used for detecting their environment. This combination of characteristics distinguishes arachnids from other types of organisms.Rate this question:

What are the characteristics of crustaceans?
- A.
Two body regions, two pair of antennae, 5 or more pairs of legs.
- B.
Two body regions, no antennae, three pairs of legs.
- C.
Two body regions, no antennae two pair of legs.
- D.
Two body regions, one pair of antennae, 5 or more pairs of legs.
Correct Answer
A. Two body regions, two pair of antennae, 5 or more pairs of legs.Explanation
The correct answer is "Two body regions, two pair of antennae, 5 or more pairs of legs." This answer accurately describes the characteristics of crustaceans. Crustaceans have a distinct body divided into two regions: the cephalothorax and the abdomen. They also have two pairs of antennae, which are sensory appendages used for detecting their environment. Additionally, crustaceans typically have five or more pairs of legs, which they use for locomotion and other functions.Rate this question:

What is the difference between a centipede and a millipede?
- A.
A centipede has two pairs of antennae.
- B.
A millipede has two legs per body section.
- C.
A millipede has a thousand legs per body section.
- D.
A centipede has no antennae.
Correct Answer
B. A millipede has two legs per body section.Explanation
A millipede has two legs per body section, whereas a centipede does not. This is the main difference between the two. The fact that a millipede has a thousand legs per body section is incorrect, as millipedes typically have fewer legs than that. Additionally, the statement that a centipede has no antennae is also incorrect, as centipedes do have antennae, but they have only one pair, not two pairs like the millipede.Rate this question:

What is the difference between a vertebrate and an invertebrate?
- A.
Vertebrates have many legs while invertebrates have only one pair of legs.
- B.
Vertebrates have antennae while invertebrates have no antennae.
- C.
Vertebrates have a backbone while invertebrates have no backbone.
- D.
Vertebrates have wings while invertebrates have no wings.
Correct Answer
C. Vertebrates have a backbone while invertebrates have no backbone.Explanation
The correct answer is that vertebrates have a backbone while invertebrates have no backbone. This is a fundamental difference between the two groups of animals. Vertebrates, such as mammals, birds, and reptiles, have a well-developed internal skeleton made up of bones, which includes a backbone or vertebral column. Invertebrates, on the other hand, lack a backbone and have a variety of other structural support systems, such as exoskeletons or hydrostatic skeletons. This key distinction in skeletal structure is used to classify animals into these two broad categories.Rate this question:

All vertebrates have:
- A.
Wings.
- B.
Fur.
- C.
Internal skeleton.
- D.
Scales.
Correct Answer
C. Internal skeleton.Explanation
All vertebrates have an internal skeleton. This is a defining characteristic of vertebrates, as it provides support and protection for the body. The internal skeleton, made up of bones or cartilage, allows for movement and attachment of muscles. It also provides a framework for the organs and helps maintain the shape of the body. While some vertebrates may have additional features like wings, fur, or scales, the presence of an internal skeleton is a common feature among all vertebrates.Rate this question:
