Your colleague is studying a newly discovered organism. She is becoming increasingly convinced that the organism is an arthropod. You find that you must respectfully disagree when you note that the organism has a set of distinctly non-arthropod characteristics. The features that cause you to exclude the organism from the arthropod grouping are
antennae, six legs, and mandibles.
pseudocoel, closed circulatory system, and ventral heart.
Malpighian tubules, ommatidia, and tagmata.
jointed legs, ecdysis, and an exoskeleton.
compound eyes, book lungs, and a hemocoel.

- List one similarity and one difference between the pairs listed below. If a term appears in parentheses after the pair, both your answers must be related to that term (e.g. if the term says "structure" your answer must relate to anatomy). Taxonomic classifications are not acceptable as answers. For example, "Both belong to phylum Chordata" or "One belongs to class Insecta and one belongs to class Arachnida" are both unacceptable answers.
