can anybody tell me the difference between invertibrates & vertibrates?

Question

i have projest which my biology teacher gave me.i tried my best searching the difference but iouldnt get it.this project is goin to give me a good reputation with my school principal as i am in the schools blacklist so plz can u give me many difference between vertibrates & invertibreates

Answer 1

invertebrates is an animal without spine (bones), instead some of them have exoscleton, such as crabs, shells, shrimps,etc

vertebrates is an animals with a spine, such as pisces(fishes), amphibians, reptiles, birds and mamals

Answer 2

You actually looked this up and couldn't find anything? Where did you look? Did you ask a librarian to help you?

A vertibrate has a backbone around the spinal cord; the word is nearly the same as the word "vertebra" which is one of your backbones.

To see half of a vertebra, look at a cooked pork chop ot a T-bone steak; then imagine an exact mirror image of that bone facing the other direction . The spinal cord goes through the hole made by the curved part of the bones, the long part of the bone is part of a rib.

An invertebrate is just the opposite. It has NO bones in it's back around the spinal cord.

Most fish, any four legged animal from a mouse on up to a horse or an ape or a human being are all vertebrates.

worms, snakes, lobsters, eels, insects, planaria, microbes and George W Bush are invertebrates

Answer 3

Vertebrates are members of the subphylum Vertebrata (within the phylum Chordata), specifically, those chordates with backbones or spinal columns. About 57,739 species of vertebrates have been described. Vertebrates started to evolve about 530 million years ago during the Cambrian explosion, which is part of the Cambrian period (first known vertebrate is Myllokunmingia). Their name derives from the bones of the spinal column (or vertebral column), the vertebrae. Vertebrata is the largest subphylum of chordates, and contains many familiar groups of large land animals. Fish (including lampreys, but traditionally not hagfish, though this is now disputed), amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals (including humans) are vertebrates. Characteristics of the subphylum are a muscular system that mostly consists of paired masses, as well as a central nervous system which is partly located inside the backbone (if one is present). Usually, the defining characteristic of a vertebrate is considered the backbone or spinal cord, a brain case, and an internal skeleton, but the latter do not hold true for lampreys, and the former is arguably present in some other chordates. Rather, all vertebrates are most easily distinguished from all other chordates by having an unequivocal head, that is, sensory organs - especially eyes are concentrated at the fore end of the body and there is pronounced cephalization. Compare the lancelets which have a mouth but no true head, and "see" with their entire back.

Invertebrate is a term that describes any animal without a spinal column. The group includes 97% of all animal species — all animals except those in the Chordate subphylum Vertebrata (fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals).

Carolus Linnaeus' Systema Naturae divided these animals into only two groups, the Insecta and the Vermes. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who was appointed to the position of "Curator of Insecta and Vermes" at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in 1793, both coined the term "invertebrate" to describe such animals and divided the original two groups into ten, by splitting off Arachnida and Crustacea from the Linnean Insecta, and Mollusca, Annelida, Cirripedia, Radiata, Coelenterata and Infusoria from the Linnean Vermes. They are now classified into over 30 phyla, from simple organisms such as sponges and flatworms to complex animals such as arthropods and molluscs.

Since invertebrates include all animals except a certain group, invertebrates form a paraphyletic group. (For a full list of animals considered to be invertebrates, see animal.) All the listed phyla are invertebrates along with two of the three subphyla in Phylum Chordata: Urochordata and Cephalochordata. These two, plus all the other known invertebrates, have only one cluster of Hox genes, while the vertebrates have duplicated their original cluster more than once.

Some common examples of invertebrates:
Porifera — sponges
Cnidarians — jellyfish
Platyhelminthes — flatworms
Nematoda — roundworms
Annelida — segmented worms
Echinodermata — sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers
Mollusca — squid, snails
Arthropoda — insects, arachnids, crustaceans
Bryozoa — sea mats (occasionally resemble corals)

PS: You are not only weak in biology but also in english spellings. Pay more attention to your studies.

Answer 4

Vertibrates have a spinal column, invertibrates do not.

Answer 5

The difference is that one has a main spinal cord system while the other does not.

Answer 6

I believe it refers to wether or not a animal has a spine/backbone.

Answer 7

try looking in your science book!!
invertabrates are creatures that don't have a back bone while vertabrates have them.
maybe if you worked on your spelling as well i would boost it even more.
God bless,
gabe

Answer 8

invertibrates got no backbone i guess......
