A vertebrate has a backbone and an invertebrate does not have a backbone
Vertebra = backbone. Invertebrate literally means 'no backbone'. Molluscs have no backbone, so they're invertebrates. ^^
The term "invertebrate" comes from Latin roots, with "in-" meaning "not" and "vertebra" meaning "joint" or "vertebra." Thus, invertebrate essentially refers to animals that do not have a backbone or spinal column. In biological classification, invertebrates encompass a diverse range of organisms, including insects, mollusks, and crustaceans.
a white tailed deer is a vertebrate
The creatures with backbones are called vertebra. The creatures without backbone are called invertebrate.
A vertebrate is an animal with a vertebra. A vertebra is a spine. Examples of vertebrates would be apes, birds, snakes and fish. An invertebrate does not have a spine. Examples - a slug, an octopus, an ant.
No. All arthropods, to which the lobster belongs, are invertebrate, literally 'without backbones'. Vertebra = backbone.
A brown spider is held together in the correct shape by its exoskeleton, which a hard coating somewhat like fingernail material. As such, the spider had no vertebra (spine) to is indeed an invertebrate.
In the sense that they do not have a spine, or vertebra: yes. Bees, like all insects, are invertebrate. Their body shape is formed by their hard outer casing.
It has vertebrates so a vertebrate
Invertebrate. Earthworms are part of the rank 'Annelida' which translated (From french and eventually Laton) means "little ring". This term described how they are structured -rings or segments. Quite simply a worm (earthworm) is an invertebrate (lacking vertebra/back bone). Simple test, cut worm in half, does it have a spine? no? then its invertebrate! I got this answer by searching 'invertebrate' on wikipedia then did a page search 'earthworm' :D
All mammals (dogs, cats, horses, cows, people) are vertebrates. They all have a spinal column made of bones called vertebra.
You can classify them from how they are alike and how they are different.
