MITES HAVE VERY COMPLEX BODILY
STRUCTURES
What kind of body does this invertebrate, living in a world we
cannot see and that can be examined only under the microscope,
possess? Does their body consist of a single cell? Or do they consist
of several cells combined and a few organelles? Since they are so
minute, they should have few details, features or organs. Under
normal conditions these living things have no visible specific vol-
ume, and it would appear impossible for them to have complex fea-
tures. So let us see: Is the mite body any different to that of other mi-
croorganisms?
Mites have oval exoskeletons covered with sparse hairs on
them. The mouth at the front of this hard body has a special struc-
ture for piercing. Thanks to this
special structure, the mite can
tear into small pieces and
consume the food it finds.
Eight legs protrude from
this oval body, and their
feet are covered in a
very important
Creation—a sticky sub-
stance that lets the mite HARUN YAHYA
bury itself among carpet
threads and deep folds in the
Mites, which we can only ob-
skin. These eight legs are able to serve under the microscope,
possess wide-ranging bodily
withstand even the most powerful structures. The details compris-
vacuum cleaners. ing the organisms reveal the (ADNAN OKTAR)
complex Creation on Earth.
