You insects are invertebrate animals belonging to the Class Insecta, have a body divided into a head, thorax, abdomen, pairs of articulated legs, compound eyes, two antennae and, sometimes, also have a exoskeleton of chitin.
We prepared a list of exercises on insects so you can test your knowledge about these invertebrate animals.

Exercises about insects
1) (FUVEST) Arthropods have, among other characteristics, jointed legs. Among them, those with a body divided into a head, thorax, abdomen and three pairs of legs are:
a) crustaceans.
b) arachnids.
c) insects.
d) scorpions.
e) myriapods.
2) (UEPB) The microscopic sensory structures that perform tactile and olfactory function in insects are located:
a) on the antennae.
b) in the chelicerae.
c) in the eyes.
d) on the pedipalps.
e) in the oral apparatus.
3) (UFU) The following are characteristics of insects and arachnids, respectively:
a) 2 chelicerae – 4 chelicerae.
b) division of the body into: head, thorax and abdomen – division into: cephalothorax and abdomen.
c) 2 antennas – 4 antennas.
d) 2 antennae and six legs – 2 antennae and 8 legs.
e) n.d.a.
4) (FCMS) The alternatives present structures found in insects. Tick the relationship that is correct:
a) trachea - spiracle.
b) mouthparts – sting.
c) compound eye – ommatidium.
d) Malpighian tubes – digestive tract.
e) wings – thorax.
5) (UFMG) Studies carried out with certain animals, mainly social insects, made it possible to demonstrate the presence of certain substances that acted as chemical messengers between individuals. The substances in question are designated by the name of:
a) royal jelly.
b) hormone.
c) pheromones.
d) animal odor.
e) scholar.
6) (FCC) The anal opening adds to its specific functions the functions of a nephridiopore in:
a) flatworms.
b) nematodes.
c) molluscs.
d) crustaceans.
e) insects.
7) (PUCC) The insects commonly called “book moths” are:
a) Siphonaptera.
b) metabolites.
c) odonates.
d) ametabolous.
e) n.d.a.
8) (MACKENZIE) According to development, insects are classified into ametabolous (direct development), hemimetabolous (indirect development with incomplete metamorphosis) and holometabolous (indirect development with incomplete metamorphosis) complete). Examples of each type are, respectively:
a) book moth, grasshopper and fly.
b) butterfly, cockroach and flea.
c) ant, dragonfly and bee.
d) cricket, cicada and beetle.
e) wasp, termite and moth.
9) (FCC) Of the following animals, which would lose the least amount of water from the surface of the body when exposed to air would be:
a) the earthworm.
b) the frog.
c) the cockroach.
d) the man.
e) the slug.
10) (UEL) Respiration and circulation in insects sustain the high metabolic demand of these animals during flight. Furthermore, tracheal respiration is an important adaptation of insects for terrestrial life. Regarding the physiological relationships between respiratory and circulatory processes in insects, it is correct to state that:
a) the open circulatory system contains hemocyanin, a respiratory pigment that facilitates the transport of oxygen from the tracheal system to the tissues.
b) the tracheal system conducts oxygen directly to the tissues and carbon dioxide in the opposite direction, which makes breathing independent of a circulatory system.
c) the circulatory system contains hemoglobin and is essential for the transport of oxygen from the tracheal system to the tissues.
d) the tracheal system conducts oxygen from the hemolymph to the tissues, which makes breathing dependent on a circulatory system.
e) the open circulatory system, despite not containing respiratory pigments, is essential for the transport of oxygen from the tracheal system to the tissues.
