Hexapoda - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔The Class that all insects belong
to, formally "insecta"
Chordata - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔The most familiar Phylum that
includes the mammals, birds, reptiles and fish "vertebrate pests"
Mollusca - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔Phylum that includes snails,
clams, etc. These are also tiny organisms, almost too small to be seen with the
naked eye, called protozoa.
Arthropoda - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔largest phylum by far that
contains the largest class,"Hexapoda". no one feature alone will separate the
Arthropoda from all other animals. Segmented bodies, jointed appendages,
shell like body "exoskeleton". They also have bilateral symmetry. (Each side of
the body is the same as the other)
Crustacea - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔water inhabiting animals which
breath either by gills or through the surface of their bodies. Numerous pairs of
legs; two pairs of antennae, fused head to the body. Lobster, crawfish, crab,
sowbug & pillbug
,Diplopoda - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔Land animals which breath
through air tubes on the side of their bodies. one pair of antennae, cylindrical
bodies with a series of segments which look very much alike. each segment has
two pairs of legs. "Millipedes"
Chilopoda - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔Have antennae and breath by
air tubes. body is more flattened and each segment bears only one pair of legs.
"centipedes"
Hexapoda - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔INSECTS: have three distinct
body regions. The head, the thorax and the abdomen. they have only one pair
of antennae, six legs that are all attached to the thorax. usually four wings if
they have them that are also attached to the thorax. "Air tubes"
Arachnida - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔Have only two body regions,
The cephalothorax and the abdomen. they do not have antennae and the
cephalothorax bears eight legs. they breath with book lungs. Some smaller
arachnids breath through surfaces on the body.
8 Characteristics of Insects - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔1. bilaterally
symmetrical
2. segmented body
3. three body regions
4. exoskeleton
5. three pairs of jointed legs
6. one pair of antennae
7. two pairs of wings, usually
,8. airs tubes for breathing
Ametabola (No Metamorphosis) - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔group
said to have no metamorphosis. "Silverfish and springtails"
Heterometabola (Gradual Metamorphosis) - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS....
✔✔there is some change in the insect as it grows up other than merely a
change in size. development of wings as the insect gets larger.
Life Stages: Egg, Nymph, Adult
(Roaches, grasshoppers, bedbugs, termites, stink bugs)
Holometabola (Complete Metamorphosis) - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS....
✔✔insects that have four distinct life stages. Usually the larvae live on entirely
different food and do not resemble the adults.
Egg, larva, pupa, adult.
Beetles, fleas, flies, ants, bees, weevils.
Molting - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔the cells of the exoskeleton called
the hypodermis secretes a molting fluid which separates the insect allowing the
insect to slide out of the shell and grow by filling itself with air or water.
Instar - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔1st, 2nd, 3rd Instar describes the
stage at which the size of the insect will represent which molt age they are
currently at.
, Chitin - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔Chitin is the substance produced by
the hypodermis that eventually hardens and becomes the new exoskeleton
Compound Eyes & Ocelli - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔Compound eyes
are the larger and most visible eyes (Fly) while Ocelli are much smaller and
vary in number but usually contain only three
Labrum - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔flap like upper lip which is hinged
and moves back and forth. It covers the upper part of the mouth
Mandibles - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔are powerful jaws that move in
and out from each side masticating the food.
Maxillae - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔secondary smaller jaws that hold
the food while the mandibles break it up
Maxillary Palp - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔Sense organs that taste and
smell the food
Labium - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔Lower lip
Thorax - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔composed of three segments each
