The exoskeleton (shared with other arthropods) provides protection against predation and desiccation or waterlogging (necessary for small organisms) and innumerable points of muscle attachment (for flexibility). Larger extant arthropods occur in aquatic environments, where water helps support their weight.
Q. Does echinoderms have exoskeleton?
Thus, echinoderms have spiny texture skin. Echinoderms have an exoskeleton made up of spicules. These spicules are spiny structures that are made up of Calcium carbonate minerals.

Q. How does the support structure of echinoderms differ from that of arthropods?
The primary difference between arthropods and echinoderms is their covering. Arthropods have a tough, non-living outer shell called exoskeleton, which protect their soft bodies while echinoderms have living endoskeletons, which develop within the deeper skin or body tissues and act as their protective covering.
Q. Which arthropod group has no antenna?
arachnids
Q. What has two body sections but no antennae?
What has two body sections but no antennae? Spiders, mites, ticks, and scorpions are arachnids. These arthropods have only two body segments, eight legs, but no antennae.
Q. Which group of animals is invertebrate?
More than 90 percent of all living animal species are invertebrates. Worldwide in distribution, they include animals as diverse as sea stars, sea urchins, earthworms, sponges, jellyfish, lobsters, crabs, insects, spiders, snails, clams, and squid.
Q. What are the 7 types of invertebrates?
There are seven primary groups of invertebrates in the animal kingdom. They are sponges, ctenophores, cnidarians, echinoderms, worms, mollusks and arthropods. Almost every higher animal species on Earth falls into one of two categories, either vertebrates or invertebrates.
Q. What are the 6 invertebrate groups?
The Invertebrates unit explores six groups of invertebrates— poriferans (sponges), cnidarians (such as sea jellies and corals), echinoderms (such as sea urchins and sea stars), mollusks (such as octopuses, snails, and clams), annelids (worms), and arthropods (such as insects, spiders, and lobsters).
Q. Which invertebrate group is easiest?
What is the simplest group of invertebrates?
- Sponges. are the simplest invertebrates.
- Cnidarians. Also live in water.
- Worms. Are animales with soft, tube-shaped bodies and a distinct head.
- Mollusks. have a muscular foot that allows them to move and hunt for food.
- Echinoderms.
- Arthropods.
