Answer:

  • <u>Mollusca:</u> Unsegmented exoskeleton, with no appendixes articulated to them. This skeleton has a calcareous origin.
  • <u>Arthropoda:</u> Segmented exoskeleton, with different appendixes articulated to them, which develop different functions. This skeleton has a chitinous origin.

Explanation:

  • Clams are bivalves. Their <u>calcareous</u> exoskeleton has two valves dorsally <u>articulated to each other</u>. They do not articulate with any appendix, although. These animals also have a <em>foot, a small head, and a developed mantle cavity</em>. The valves are convex, oval, and <u>unsegmented</u><u>.</u> They are composed of three layers: periostracum, prismatic, and pearly. En the dorsal portion of each valve, there is a bulge called the umbo, which is the oldest part of the valve. The articulation has some teeth-shaped structures that are intercalated, maintaining the valves together and fixed.
  • Grasshoppers have a <u>chitinous</u> exoskeleton divided into three principal <u>segments or regions</u> that allow their movement: head, thorax, and abdomen. The head is orientated in such a manner that their feeding apparatus is heading down. Also, the head segment has composed eyes and antennae. The thorax is the medial region of the body. It has three segments: the prothorax, mesothorax, and metathorax. Each of these segments articulates with a pair of legs. Finally, the abdomen is composed of many segments that might reach up to 7 or 11.

The different types of terrains in these biomes are slopes of mountains, rocky hills etc. The weather conditions change constantly in these biomes. Therefore, plants and animals found in these biomes adapt quickly to the changing environmental conditions.

The most plausible hypothesis to explain why species richness is higher in tropical than in temperate regions is that
qwelly [4]
The most plausible hypothesis is: Tropical regions generally have more available water and higher levels of solar radiation. They also have very high rates of immigration and very low rates of extinction.

explanation:
Water is essential for an abundance of life, and sunlight is the means by which the whole food chain receives energy. Plants convert the sunlight into food, herbivores eat them, and other animals eat herbivores.

Hope this helps, and muchas luck on your biology.
