The term vertebrate, refers to animal life which have a backbone. Without knowing which particular species you were referring to, this question may not be answered in the way you had in mind.
Vertebrates can be herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores.
For instance, when I decide to feed my snake I put him in an empty fish tank. You can use a larger box if you wish, but then I just drop the mouse (the snake's meal) in the tank (or box) and the snake bites it and spins.Then the snake just opens his mouth and inch by inch, he slides it down and I mean inch by inch: it takes a long time.

In the ocean, they'll eat other organisms, whether alive or dead depending on the species of invertebrate, they'll eat organic matter (poo, essentially), they'll eat plants, and some can even photosynthesize to a degree with the help of symbiotic algae living in their cells.
On land, inverts eat anything from living to dying wood, fungi, plants, and animals, to fresh and decaying organic matter, to their own children. Everything is fair game for invertebrates.
Remember, without invertebrates, we'd have no hope of living for very long.

What is a dinosaur that is an invertebrate?
There were no invertebrate dinosaurs, they were all chordates.
Is a Coelenterate a vertebrate or invertebrate?
Eels are vertebrates and chordates.
Are starfish vertebrate?
Star fish is an invertebrate. It comes under the phylum Echinodermata of non- Chordates.
How are invertebrate chordates such as lancelets different from vertebrates such as fish and mammals?
They don't have a backbone
Why are sea squirts and lancelets referred to as invertebrate chordates?
They don't have a backbone and have all the characteristics of a chordate.
What part do invertebrates lack?
Vertebrates (like humans) have a backbone. Invertebrates (like worms) lack a backbone.
In chordates how does the notochord of a vertebrate differ from that of an invertebrate?
The notochord of a vertebrate differs from that of an invertebrate because a vertebrates eventually turns into a back bone. Invertebrates just disappears.
What do chordates eat?
chordates can eat many many different things, because there are many many different types of chordates, so in order to get the exact answer, you must be more specific
What phylum your invertebrate specimen belong to?
Echinoderms are marine animals that are invertebrates, while Chordates are animals with backbones. Hope this helps!
What is the opposite of chordata?
The opposite of chordata is invertebrates. Invertebrates are animals without a backbone, whereas chordates are animals with a notochord or vertebral column.
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 class do hagfishes belong to?
They belong to Phylum Chordata but are Invertebrate Chordates. Hagfish are very primitive. They have have only a partial skull and no vertebral column. They have no jaw or scales.
