Explanation / Answer

9. the exoskeleton at the joints is flexible. This flexibility provides them with great freedom of movement

10. protein. Collagen like protein is predominately found deposited with cuticle, this protein makes extensive crosslinking leading to strengthened exoskeleton

11. pinhole eyes are effective in low light conditions

12. All of above.

Class Polychaeta: marine annelids;

Class Oligochaeta: marine, freshwater and terrestrial annelids including earthworms;

Class Hirudinea: marine, fresh water and terrestrial

13. nematode. The nematode phyla include ascaris, pinworms, hookworms etc which are parasitic

14. arthropods

15. none; Torsion is the rotation of the visceral mass, mantle, and shell 180? with respect to the head and foot of the gastropod.

16. B nauplius

17 nematode
