Segmentation and jointed appendages
Give some examples of tagma in arthropods. - Correct Answer ✔✔ sensory,
locomotion, and organ systems
What is an arthropod's exoskeleton made out of? - Correct Answer ✔✔ cuticle made up
of chitin
Having an exoskeleton means the animal must molt in order to grow. Explain what
molting is. - Correct Answer ✔✔ Molting is shedding the old shell to make way for the
new growth
What is the difference between determinate and indeterminate growth? - Correct
Answer ✔✔ Determinate growth is when there is an ending point of molting (insects).

myriapoda, and pancrustacea

when the larvae stage looks entirely different from the adult stage; includes a pupal
stage.
Incomplete is when larvae resemble the adults; molt until they reach maturity.
