Question:

How do annelid animals differ from arthropods?

Answer:

Num.AnnelidsArthropods
1.True body cavity called coelem Blood filled body cavity called haemocoel.
2. Lateral appendages for locomotion. Jointed legs for locomotion
3. Closed circulatory system Open circulatory System.
4. Body is soft, there is no hard skeleton Hard Exoskeleton made up of chitin
5. The body is segmented both externally and internally (septa) e.g. Body is externally divided but not internally by septa.
6. e.g. Leech, earthworms etc. e.g. Insects, spiders, prawns etc.
