What structures of chelicerates are analogous to the antennae of chilopods and other mandibulates?
A chelicerate does not have antennae because it is missing the nerve bundle that would control that structure. Instead, chelicerates use setae to detect changes in air currents and provide equivalents to smell and taste.
What is the Biggest group of arthropods?
Chelicerates are a group of arthropods that lack jaws. Examples of chelicerates include horseshoe crabs, mites, ticks, spiders, and scorpions. Arthropods that have jaws are classified as mandibulates.
Do chelicerates have wings?
no chelicerates are mostly spiders or scorpions or horseshoe crabs
What makes a tarantula an arthropod?
Tarantulas and other spiders are classified as arthropods by virtue of their physical characteristics. In taxonomic classification arthropods branch into two major subcategories, the chelicerates which include arachnids, and the mandibulates which includes the myriapods, crustaceans and insects. These all share the broad definition of arthropoda which is characterized by joint appendages and possession of an exoskeleton.
Do chelicerates have antennae?
No
Are wings found in insects and chelicerates?
Yes, wings are found in insects, but not in chelicerates such as spiders and scorpions. Chelicerates have evolved a different body plan that does not include wings for flight.

What are the differences between chelicerates and uniramians?
Chelicerates and uniramians are two distinct groups within the arthropods. Chelicerates, which include spiders, scorpions, and ticks, possess specialized mouthparts called chelicerae and typically have two body segments: the cephalothorax and abdomen. In contrast, uniramians, which encompass insects and myriapods (like centipedes and millipedes), have a single pair of antennae, mandibles for feeding, and a body divided into three main parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. Additionally, uniramians usually have segmented appendages (limbs) that are often unbranched, whereas chelicerates have simpler, often non-segmented appendages.
