About This Quiz

What do you know about arthropods? Arthropods have exoskeletons made up of chitin, highly well-developed sense organs, segmented bodies, and connected limbs linked like a suit of armor because the exoskeleton is inflexible and cannot bend to promote movement. Their shells contain the material chitin instead of being on the inside for structural support. This quiz will assist you in your quest for knowledge about arthropods. Good luck.

  • 2. 

    Arthropods have segmented bodies.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Arthropods have segmented bodies because their bodies are divided into distinct sections or segments, which are joined together by joints. This segmentation allows for flexibility and mobility, as each segment can move independently. This characteristic is a defining feature of arthropods and is observed in various groups such as insects, spiders, crustaceans, and millipedes.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Arthropods don't have jointed legs.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Arthropods do have jointed legs. Arthropods are a group of invertebrate animals that include insects, spiders, crustaceans, and others. One of the defining characteristics of arthropods is their jointed appendages, including legs. These jointed legs allow arthropods to have a wide range of movement and flexibility. Therefore, the statement that arthropods don't have jointed legs is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Crab and millipedes are arthropods.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Arthropods are a diverse group of invertebrate animals that include insects, spiders, crustaceans, and millipedes. Both crabs and millipedes belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which is characterized by having jointed legs and a segmented body. Therefore, it is correct to say that crabs and millipedes are arthropods.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Some arthropods go through a process called molting.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Molting is a process in which arthropods shed their exoskeleton to allow for growth. This process is necessary for arthropods to accommodate their increasing size as they develop. Therefore, it is true that some arthropods go through the process of molting.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Arthropods are vertebrates.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Arthropods are not vertebrates. They belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which includes insects, spiders, crustaceans, and other invertebrates. Vertebrates, on the other hand, belong to the phylum Chordata and have a backbone or vertebral column. Therefore, the statement "Arthropods are vertebrates" is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Arthropods reproduce asexually.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Arthropods do not reproduce asexually. They have a variety of reproductive strategies, including sexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, arthropods typically have separate male and female individuals that produce gametes which combine to form offspring.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Arthropods have a heart that pumps blood through the whole body.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Arthropods, such as insects and spiders, do have a heart that pumps blood throughout their entire body. This is a characteristic feature of arthropods' circulatory system, which helps transport oxygen and nutrients to different parts of their body. The heart in arthropods is a tubular structure that pumps hemolymph, a fluid similar to blood, and helps maintain circulation. Therefore, the statement "Arthropods have a heart that pumps blood through the whole body" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Molting is a process in which a caterpiller becomes a butterfly.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is incorrect. Molting is a process in which a caterpillar sheds its old skin to make way for new growth. It is a crucial part of the caterpillar's growth and development, but it does not result in the transformation into a butterfly. The transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly occurs through the process of metamorphosis, which involves the formation of a chrysalis and the restructuring of the caterpillar's body into that of a butterfly.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Certain types of arthropods have exoskeletons.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Arthropods, which include insects, spiders, and crustaceans, do have exoskeletons. The exoskeleton is a hard, protective outer covering made of chitin. It provides support and protection for the arthropod's body. Therefore, the statement that certain types of arthropods have exoskeletons is true, not false.
