What is the difference between arthropods and invertebrates?

Answer 1

II. Application and Critical-Thinking QuestionsComparing and Contrasting the Vertebrate ClassesThe table below lists 20 characteristics that taxonomists use to classify vertebrate animals. Place an X in each box when a characteristic is normally observed in the class of vertebrates at the top of each column. Leave the box blank for characteristics not normally observed in a particular class. (Note: A stated characteristic might be shown by only one class, or it might be shared by two or more classes.) Characteristic|Agnatha (Jawless fish)AmphibiaAves (Birds)MammaliaOsteichthyes (Bony fish)Reptilia1. Many hollow bonesX2. Paired fins present in adultsX3. Well-developed olfactory (smell) organs in headXXX4. Mostly tetrapodal (possessing four prominent limbs)XXX5. Skeleton composed mainly of boneXXXXX6. Gas exchange mainly across the skin surfaceX7.

Answer 2

They both can adapt to their environment easily.

They both have internal blood.

They both have a brain that can communicate throughout their body to certain places that help them live in their natural habitat.

Answer:

They both can be found in either water or land and they both reproduce and respirate. They can also move.
Invertebrates have no back bone while vertebrates have well-developed internal skeleton of cartilage and bone and highly developed brain enclosed by a skull. Their nerve cord is enclosed by the vertebrae and have well-developed sensory organs and respiratory system with either gills or lungs. A bilateral symmetry with advanced nervous system also distinguishes them from invertebrates.

answer 2

They are living animal organisms.

answer 3. There are some sea squirts or Tunicates that are primitive chordates, which in developing, abandon their bilateral symmetry and look rather like a wrinkled potato with (generally) a stalk, and they attach themselves to a holding place such as a pile. As 'adults' they do not have bilateral symmetry. There are also cephalochordata.

With such confusing features, (like the Platypus and echidna have in their way) their taxonomy has had a peripatetic history.

But in looking for 'Alike' features, reproductive organs must also be mentioned.

Answer 4;

Both are alike in being Eukaryotic, multicellular, ingestive heterotrophic and motile.
They are all animals

well first of all, some invertebrates have wings and some vertebrates have wings. that means both vertebrates and invertebrates can have wings. Some invertebrates have antennae and some vertebrates have antennae. Also, both groups are living things.
they both have movement, they are living things, they are both animals, they both breathe.....

Answer 3

Insects, like beetles and ants, have three distinct body parts: the head, thorax and abdomen. All have six legs and two sensory antannae. Arachnids, like Spiders and scorpions, have a head and a thorax fused(the parts are not aesthetically distinguishable, but they have both), aswell as an abdomen. Arachnids are more advanced in terms of intellect and features. Insects rarely have venom, but nearly all arachnids do. However, insects are hardier and more numerous. Their primitive brains mean they can be controlled by pheromones released by others. This is how a queen ant or bee can control hundreds. Arachnids are nearly always solo as they are too smart to be controlled.

Answer 4

Well, Arthropods are a group of animals with jointed legs and an external skeleton. Insects,ticks,mites and spiders are all arthropods. And Vertebrates are animals with backbones.

Answer 5

the differences are arthropods hve semented bodies and 3 pairs of jointed legs and other invertebraes don't
