Question

The wide diversity of arthropod body plans can be attributed to:

Question 7 options:

acquisition of mitochondria through endosymbiosis of proteobacteria.

small body sizes that allow individuals to colonize many habitats.

flexibility in metabolism that lets them use a variety of carbon and energy sources.

flexibility in metabolism that lets them use a variety of carbon and energy sources.

Explanation / Answer

Abswer is B) small body size that allow individual to colonize many habitats. Arthropoda is a group with most biological success due to its characterstic. Main characterstics are

1) its exoskeleton

2) segmentation pattern,

3) diversification of appendages

4) advance sensory system

The efficient body plan allow diversification of labor among different body region. This body plan allow them to survive in different habitats thats why arthropoda has wide diversity body plan which help them to survive in different habitats.
