The correct Answer is:
To determine which organism has no skeleton, we need to analyze the options provided: cockroach, mosquito, butterfly, and jellyfish. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organisms**: - The options given are cockroach, mosquito, butterfly, and jellyfish. 2. **Classify the Organisms**: - Cockroach, mosquito, and butterfly are all insects and belong to the phylum Arthropoda. - Jellyfish belongs to the phylum Cnidaria (previously known as Coelenterata). 3. **Understand Skeleton Types**: - Insects (cockroach, mosquito, butterfly) have an exoskeleton, which is a hard outer covering that provides support and protection. - Jellyfish do not have a true skeleton. Instead, they have a gelatinous substance called mesoglea, which is not considered a skeleton. 4. **Analyze the Skeleton Presence**: - Cockroach, mosquito, and butterfly possess exoskeletons. - Jellyfish lacks a skeleton in the traditional sense and is primarily composed of soft tissue. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since jellyfish does not have a skeleton, the correct answer is **jellyfish**. ### Final Answer: The organism that has no skeleton is **jellyfish**. ---
