What is a strange invertebrate?
Tunicates, (Sea squirts, Sea tulips) should adequately meet your desire for strange!
Is phylum Chordata represents vertebrate animals exclusively?
No, the phylum Chordata includes both vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Vertebrates are a subphylum within Chordata and have a backbone or spinal column, whereas invertebrate chordates, like tunicates and lancelets, lack a backbone.
Why are the tunicates and lanceletes classified as invertebrate chordates?
Phylum Chordata simply consists of all animals that, at least in their embryonic phase, have a structure called the notochord. In the vertebrates, the notochord develops into the vertebrae, i.e. the backbone. Some primitive chordates, though, including the tunicates, lancelets, and hagfish, do not ever develop vertebrae, although they have/have had a notochord. Hence, Subphyla Urochordata and Cephalochordata, and Class Myxini are invertebrate chordates.
What animals eat Predatory Tunicates?
the hawsbill and leatherback sea turtle eats tunicates
What is scientific name of tunicates?
The scientific name for tunicates is Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Tunicata.
What eats tunicates?
Tunicates are part of the phylum Chordata, and there are as many of 2,150 species of them. Sea stars, flatworms, and snails are some of the predators of tunicates.
What Tunicates and lancelets are two subphyla of animals classified as what?
chordates
How do tunicates eliminate nitrogenous wastes from their bodies?
Tunicates are invertebrate marine animals. These animals have very simplistic or lack an excretory systems and must eliminate nitrogenous waste through the diffusion of ammonia through their tissues. A sea squirt is a tunicate.
How many species are in the CHORDATA phylum?
There are approximately 65,000 species in the Chordata phylum, which includes vertebrates like mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, as well as some invertebrate species like tunicates and lancelets.
Is lobster a vertebrate or invertebrates?
invertebrate - has exoskeleton
What are the ten groups of invertebrate?
I can think of 8: - Porifera (sponges) - Cnidaria (jellyfish and anemones) - Mollusca (snails, squids) - Platyhelminthes (flatworms) - Nematoda (roundworms) - Annelida (ringworms, leeches) - Arthropoda (insects, arachnids, crustaceans and some other bits) - Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins and cucumbers) - Chordata (also includes the vertebrates, but the invertebrate bits are Amphioxus and the tunicates) Anyone got more? I think I got them all.
What evidence of chordate affinities is present in adult tunicates and in larval tunicates?
Adult tunicates exhibit chordate affinities through the presence of a notochord in their larval stage, which is a defining characteristic of chordates. In larval tunicates, the notochord is prominent, along with a dorsal nerve cord and pharyngeal slits, which are features shared with other chordates. Although adult tunicates lose many of these traits and become sessile, they retain a structure called the tunic, which reflects their evolutionary connection to the chordate lineage. Overall, the larval form displays the key chordate features, while the adult form highlights the evolutionary adaptations of tunicates.
