#6) Big Idea 1 Term 10: Arthropod

Above is type of Scutigeromorpha (a.k.a. a house centipede) that is very small and and fast. As demonstrated by it lack of vertebrae, its exoskeleton, its segmented body, and its jointed legs, it is an arthropod. All insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and myriapods are arthropods. All arthropods molt away their exoskeletons and all of them have exoskeletons made of a-chitin.
