    The phylum, Arthropoda, consists of more than two-thirds of the animal species on earth. The reasons for the success of arthropods are as follows.
    1 Jointed legs that allow more mobility on land
    2 Hard exoskeleton made of chitin that protects the body
    3 The hard exoskeleton also reduces water loss from the body of arthropods making them more adapted to terrestrial conditions.

  3. Taenia (Tapeworm) and Fasciola (liver fluke) are examples of parasitic platyhelminthes. Peculiar features in parasitic platyhelminthes are as follows. 1 They have dorsiventrally flattened body and bear hooks and suckers to get attached inside the body of the host. 2 Their body is covered with thickRead more

    Taenia (Tapeworm) and Fasciola (liver fluke) are examples of parasitic platyhelminthes.
    Peculiar features in parasitic platyhelminthes are as follows.
    1 They have dorsiventrally flattened body and bear hooks and suckers to get attached inside the body of the host.
    2 Their body is covered with thick tegument, which protects them from the action of digestive juices of the host.
    3 The tegument also helps in absorbing nutrients from the host’s body.

    Direct development:-
    1. It is a type of development in which an embryo develops into a mature individual without involving a larval stage.
    2. Metamorphosis is absent.
    3. It occurs in fishes, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

    Indirect development-
    1. It is a type of development that involves a sexually-immature larval stage, having different food requirements than adults.
    2. Metamorphosis involving development of larva to a sexually mature adult is present.
