Cnidarians, such as jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones, are a specific group of invertebrates characterized by their radial symmetry, the presence of specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes, and a simple body plan with a gastrovascular cavity. In contrast, invertebrates encompass a much broader category that includes various animals lacking a backbone, such as mollusks, arthropods, and annelids, each with diverse structures and life processes. While all cnidarians are invertebrates, not all invertebrates are cnidarians. This distinction highlights the diversity and complexity within the invertebrate phylum.
Yes, a cnidarian is an invertebrate.
As a jelly fish doesn't have a spine, a jelly fish is an invertebrate.
Vertebrate Has a BACKBONE and Invertebrate Doesn't have a BACKBONE
The most significant difference between a vertebrate and an invertebrate is that a vertebrate has a spine and an invertebrate doesn't.
vertebrates have backbones while invertebrates do not.
The main difference is that a vertebrate is an animal that does have a backbone or spine. An invertebrate does not have a backbone or spine.
a vertebrate is an animal with a backbone an invertebrate is one with no backbone
Yes, it is a cnidarian, and is therefore an invertebrate animal. It just doesn't have the characteristics of a normal human like eyes and a nose.YEAH!
Embryonically, they represent inverted forms of each other.
Vertibrates have bones while invertibrate don't have.
Vertebrate means "having a backbone", invertebrate means "without a backbone".
The notochord of a vertebrate differs from that of an invertebrate because a vertebrates eventually turns into a back bone. Invertebrates just disappears.
