  • 2. 

    An insect is divided into how many parts?

    • One

    • Two

    • Three

    • Four

    • A million

    Correct Answer
    A. Three
    Explanation
    An insect is divided into three parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen. These three parts make up the body of an insect and are distinct from each other in terms of their structure and function. The head contains the insect's sensory organs and mouthparts, the thorax is responsible for locomotion and houses the wings and legs, and the abdomen contains the digestive, reproductive, and respiratory systems.

  • 3. 

    Mrs. Vazquez is the ____ teacher ever.

    • Greatest

    • Kindest

    • Coolest

    • Smartest

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. All of these
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "all of these" because the statement "Mrs. Vazquez is the ____ teacher ever" implies that she possesses all the qualities mentioned in the options - being the greatest, kindest, coolest, and smartest teacher. Therefore, all of these options accurately describe Mrs. Vazquez.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Most crustaceans have ____ for breathing.

    Correct Answer
    gills
    Explanation
    Crustaceans, such as crabs and lobsters, have gills for breathing. Gills are specialized organs that extract oxygen from water, allowing the crustaceans to respire. These gills are located on the sides of their bodies and are made up of thin, feathery structures that increase the surface area for efficient gas exchange. By pumping water over their gills, crustaceans are able to extract oxygen and release carbon dioxide, enabling them to survive and thrive in their aquatic environments.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Give the sequence of complete metamorphosis in the correct order.

    • Egg, adult, pupa, larva

    • Pupa, egg, larva, adult

    • Egg, pupa, larva, adult

    • Egg, larva, pupa, adult

    • Larva, egg, pupa, adult

    Correct Answer
    A. Egg, larva, pupa, adult
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "egg, larva, pupa, adult." This is the correct sequence for complete metamorphosis, which is the life cycle of insects such as butterflies and beetles. It starts with the egg, which hatches into a larva or caterpillar. The larva then goes through a period of growth and development, shedding its skin multiple times, until it forms a pupa or chrysalis. Inside the pupa, the insect undergoes a dramatic transformation, eventually emerging as an adult.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A scorpion is a member of the ____ order.

    • Arachnid

    • Insect

    • Millipede and Centipede

    • Crustacean

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Arachnid
    Explanation
    A scorpion is a member of the arachnid order because it possesses the characteristic features of arachnids, such as having eight legs and belonging to the class Arachnida. Arachnids also include spiders, ticks, and mites. Insects have six legs, while millipedes, centipedes, and crustaceans belong to different taxonomic groups. Therefore, the correct answer is Arachnid.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of arthropods?

    • Segmented body 

    • Jointed appendages 

    • Endoskeleton 

    • Exoskeleton

    Correct Answer
    A. Endoskeleton 
    Explanation
    Arthropods are characterized by having a hard exoskeleton made of chitin, which provides support and protection. They also have segmented bodies and jointed appendages, which allow for flexibility and movement. An endoskeleton, or internal skeleton, is a characteristic of vertebrates, not arthropods.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    An arthropod reproduces ____.  (how)

    Correct Answer
    sexually
    Explanation
    Arthropods reproduce sexually, which means that they require the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg) to produce offspring. This type of reproduction allows for genetic variation and the combination of traits from both parents. Arthropods have specialized reproductive organs that facilitate the transfer of sperm from males to females, such as the male's copulatory organs and the female's reproductive tract. This method of reproduction is common among many animal species, including insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

    These have a hard exoskeleton, two pairs of antennae, and a mouth for crunching and grinding.

    • Centipedes and millipedes

    • Insects

    • Crustaceans

    • Arachnids

    • Monkeys

    Correct Answer
    A. Crustaceans
    Explanation
    Crustaceans have a hard exoskeleton, two pairs of antennae, and a mouth for crunching and grinding. This distinguishes them from other options such as centipedes, millipedes, insects, arachnids, and monkeys, which do not possess all of these characteristics.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A millipede is a(n) ____.

    • Carnivore

    • Herbivore

    • Omnivore

    • Crustacean

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Herbivore
    Explanation
    A millipede is considered a herbivore because it primarily feeds on plant material. Millipedes have specialized mouthparts that allow them to consume decaying leaves, wood, and other organic matter. They play an important role in the ecosystem by breaking down dead plant material and recycling nutrients back into the soil. Although some millipede species may occasionally consume small insects or decaying animal matter, their diet consists mainly of plant material, making them classified as herbivores.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    An insect has ____ legs, and an arachnid has ____ legs.

    six 6 eight 8
    Explanation
    Insects have six legs, while arachnids have eight legs. This is a characteristic feature that distinguishes these two groups of animals.
