Answer 1

Arthropods lack locomotory cilia, even in the larval stages, probably because of the presence of the exoskeleton. The body is usually segmented, and the segments bear paired jointed appendages, from which the name arthropod (“jointed feet”) is derived.

The 4 classes of phylum Arthropods with examples are :

Crustaeca- crab, lobster etc.

Myriapoda - Centipide, millipede.

Insecra- ant, housefly.

Arachnida- spider, ticks.
