Overview Questions with Detailed
Verified Answers
Question: Species
Ans: Groups of plants or animals that look-alike with similar characteristics
and living traits
Question: Hexapoda
Ans: The Class that all insects belong to, formally "insecta"
Question: Chordata
Ans: The most familiar Phylum that includes the mammals, birds, reptiles and
fish "vertebrate pests"
Question: Mollusca
Ans: Phylum that includes snails, clams, etc. These are also tiny organisms,
almost too small to be seen with the naked eye, called protozoa.
Question: Arthropoda
, Page | 2
Ans: 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)
Question: Crustacea
Ans: 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
Question: Diplopoda
Ans: 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"
Question: Chilopoda
Ans: Have antennae and breath by air tubes. body is more flattened and each
segment bears only one pair of legs. "centipedes"
Question: Hexapoda
, Page | 3
Ans: 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"
Question: Arachnida
Ans: 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.
Question: 8 Characteristics of Insects
Ans: 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

Question: Ametabola (No Metamorphosis)
Ans: group said to have no metamorphosis. "Silverfish and springtails"
Question: Heterometabola (Gradual Metamorphosis)
Ans: 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)
Question: Holometabola (Complete Metamorphosis)
Ans: 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.
