Arthropod body segments are sometimes distinct, sometimes indistinct and sometimes fused as groups to form body regions. Which groups of arthropods appear the most distinctly segmented?

Respuesta :

Arthropods

Explanation:

Groups of arthropods that appear the most distinctly segmented are: centipedes and millipedes

  • Centipedes are members of the chilopoda class of arthropods
  • One difference between a centipede and a millipede is that a centipede only has one set of legs (or two legs total) per body segment
  • When it comes to length, centipedes can grow to be anywhere from one to 12 inches depending on the species
  • All centipedes have long antennae
  • Centipedes are carnivorous predators, so they also have large jaws that they use to kill or paralyze their prey
  • Millipedes are arthropods that are members of the Diplopoda class
  • They’re characterized by having two sets of legs (or four legs total) per body segment
  • Millipedes also don’t have powerful venomous jaws, and their antennae are shorter
  • And unlike the centipede, millipedes are scavengers that like to feed on decaying organic matter, like leaves and compost
