c) Their jointed legs help them in fast mobility
d) Their body is bilaterally symmetrical
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Arthropoda is the largest phylum in the Animalia Kingdom, not the second largest. They have jointed legs due to which they are named Arthropoda. Their jointed legs help them in fast mobility. Their body is bilaterally symmetrical.

2. Which among the following statements is incorrect about Arthropoda?
a) Their Exoskeleton is made of chitin which helps them from extreme conditions
b) They are triploblastic, segmented and hemocoelomate animals
c) Some of these animals are dioecious and others are monoecious
d) Internal fertilization is seen in terrestrial animals and external fertilization is noticed in aquatic animals
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Arthropoda are triploblastic, segmented and hemocoelomate animals. Their Exoskeleton is made of chitin which helps them from extreme conditions. They are dioecious and internal fertilization is seen in terrestrial arthropods whereas external fertilization is noticed in aquatic arthropods.

3. Which among the following is incorrect about reproduction in Arthropoda?
a) They are dioecious
b) Internal fertilization takes place in the case of terrestrial arthropods
c) These are mostly viviparous organisms
d) Development of embryo is either direct or indirect
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Arthropods are dioecious animals. In most of the terrestrial arthropods, internal fertilization occurs whereas in the case of aquatic arthropods external fertilization occurs. Development of Embryo is either direct or indirect. These are mostly oviparous.

4. Which among the following is not correct about Arthropods?
a) Their body consists of three parts, namely, head, thorax and abdomen
b) Their respiratory organs can be either lungs or gills
c) Their digestive system is complete with mouth, esophagus, intestines and rectum
d) They have a heart and blood vessels to supply blood to the organs of the body
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Arthropods consist of three parts, namely, head, thorax and abdomen. Their respiratory organs can be either lungs or gills. Their digestive system is complete with mouth, esophagus, intestines and rectum. Their circulatory system is of open type i.e. they don’t have either heart or blood vessels to supply blood to the organs of the body.

6. Which among the following is incorrect about Annelids?
a) The name Annelids is derived from the word “Annulus” which means small ring like structure
b) Some of these organisms are dioecious while few others are monoecious
c) The level of organization in these organisms is organ level of organization
d) The circulatory system is of open type
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The name Annelids is derived from the word “Annulus” which means small ring like structure. Some of these organisms are dioecious while few others are monoecious. The level of organization in these organisms is organ level of organization. The circulatory system is of closed type.

7. Arthropods excrete through ___________
a) Malpighian tubules
b) Pores
c) Nephridia
d) Kidneys
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Arthropods excrete through malpighian tubules. These are usually found in the posterior areas of arthropods’ alimentary canal. The structure of malpighian tubules includes a single layer of epithelial cells.

8. Which among the following is incorrect about nervous system in Annelids?
a) Each segment has ganglia that help in the muscular movements
b) They have two ventral nerve chords throughout the body
c) Specialized sensory receptors to help in sense of touch and light
d) The pigmented photo receptors are called Ocelli
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Annelids have a well-developed nervous system with cerebral and segmental ganglia, two ventral nerve cords, and sensory receptors for touch and light detection. While some annelids possess ocelli for sensing light, not all rely on them as primary photoreceptors.

9. Which among the following is incorrect about nervous system in Nematodes?
a) Nerve ring made of four ganglia serves as brain
b) Nerve chords are present on the dorsal and ventral side of their body
c) Dorsal nerves act as sensory nerves of the body
d) Ventral nerves act as both motor controllers and sensory nerves of the body
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Nerve ring made of four ganglia serves as brain. Nerve chords are present on the dorsal and ventral side of their body. Dorsal nerves act as motor nerves of the body. Ventral nerves act as both motor controllers and sensory nerves of the body.
