Answer:

1. Exoskeleton

2. Jointed appendages

Please find the explanation of the mentioned characteristics below

Explanation:

Arthropods are a group of animals that lack backbones i.e invertebrates but possess jointed legs. Arthropods as their name implies all belong to a large phylum called ARTHROPODA. They include insects, crustaceans etc. Due to their large number among other animal species, their outstanding variety etc, they are considered the MOST SUCCESSFUL animals.

This success of arthropods can be attributed to the characteristics they possess. Two of them are:

- EXOSKELETON: The outside skeleton possessed by members of these phylum supports their body, movement and general protection.

- JOINTED LEGS/APPENDAGES: Arthropods are virtually the only set of organisms that have jointed appendages giving them the adaptational ability to live and thrive in almost every habitat, if not all.

Que hará un pez que tiene vejiga natatoria para sumergirse en aguas más profundas
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

La vejiga natatoria en un pez, se ve afectada por la presión hidrostatica del agua, generando presión y estrechamiento sobre esta, al disminuirse hace más fácil la inmersión, puesto que está vejiga contiene aire que tiene peso menor que el agua y hace flotar con más facilidad al pez, sin embargo cuando el pez sube, la vejiga aumentará su volumen y tendrá que nadar más para mantenerse más abajo en el agua
