The correct Answer is:
To determine the common feature among moths, frogs, and mosquitoes, we can analyze their characteristics step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organisms**: - We have three organisms: moth, frog, and mosquito. 2. **Classify the Organisms**: - Moths and mosquitoes belong to the phylum **Arthropoda**. - Frogs belong to the phylum **Amphibia**. 3. **Examine the Options**: - **Option A**: Body differentiated into head, thorax, and abdomen. - This is a characteristic of Arthropoda (moths and mosquitoes), but not of frogs. - **Option B**: Life history is carried out partly in water. - This is true for frogs (larval stage in water), but not for moths and mosquitoes. - **Option C**: Larvae feed on different types of foods than adults. - This is true for all three: - Moth larvae feed on leaves, adults feed on nectar. - Mosquito larvae feed on algae and plankton, while adults have varied diets based on gender (females feed on blood, males on plant sap). - Frog larvae (tadpoles) feed on algae and plankton, while adults feed on insects. - **Option D**: Skin acts as a main respiratory organ. - This is a feature of frogs, not of moths or mosquitoes. 4. **Conclusion**: - The common feature among moths, frogs, and mosquitoes is **Option C**: "Larvae feed on different types of foods than adults." ### Final Answer: The common feature among moth, frog, and mosquito is that larvae feed on different types of foods than adults. ---
