A.
lift is generated as wings move air and create pressure differences
B.
lift depends on closed blood circulation
C.
lift is caused by chewing mandibles
D.
lift is produced only by the digestive system
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A. lift is generated as wings move air and create pressure differences
Explanation:

A.
wing veins that strengthen the abdomen
B.
hormonal glands that control molting
C.
small cervical plates allow flexible head movement
D.
digestive plates that crush food
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C. small cervical plates allow flexible head movement
Explanation:
The insect neck contains cervical sclerites and membranes. This arrangement allows the head to move while still connecting it firmly to the thorax.

A.
antennae become chewing jaws
B.
wings become endocrine glands
C.
hind legs flatten for swimming
D.
modified forelegs grasp prey
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D. modified forelegs grasp prey

A.
muscles change thoracic shape to move wings indirectly
B.
muscles attach only to antennae
C.
muscles attach directly to wing bases
D.
muscles work only during molting
