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?

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?

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 are the lower chordates?
Lower chordates refer to a group of simple, marine invertebrate animals that belong to the phylum Chordata but do not possess a backbone or vertebral column. Examples of lower chordates include tunicates, lancelets, and hagfish. They are considered primitive chordates with some characteristics of vertebrates.
