What do invertebrates have in common?
all invertebrates are smaller than vertebrates. :)

Why are vertebrates able to grow larger than invertebrates?
Vertebrates have an internal skeleton and invertebrates have external skeletons. Vertebrates are able to grow larger than invertebrates because of this. Invertebrates would crush themselves under their own skeletons if they grew to a large size.
How numerous are invertebrates?
most invertebrates are arthropods, and 70% of animals in the world are arthropods (insects), so I'm guessing there are more invertebrates than vertebrates.
Why are invertebrates smaller than vertebrates?
Not all invertebrates are smaller than vertebrates. Molluscs such as the Giant Squid can weight up to 275 kg. However, in general, and particularly in terrestrial habitats, it's because the stiff structure supplied by the vertebral column allows the organism to better support its weight against the force of gravity.
Are there more vertebrates than invertebrates living on earth?
No, there aren't. Approximately 95% of Earth's creatures are invertebrates.
What is the main group of invertebrates?
The group with the most species is that of the arthropods - insects, arachnids and crustaceans. But molluscs and the three groups of worms also make up a good part. Vertebrates is just another group like the arthropods for example - "invertebrates" is incredibly general. There are way more invertebrates than vertebrates.
What kinds of animals are vertebrates and invertebrates?
most animals today are invertebrates. this includes things such as arthropods (insects) mollusks, echinoderms ( starfish) cnidarians (jellyfish) and many others. the mere presence ofinsects in that list easily makes invertebrates more numerous than vertebrates :)
Why is an earthworm more closely related to an grasshopper than to a snake?
Earthworms and grasshoppers are invertebrates (no backbone) and have exoskeletons. Snakes are vertebrates (have backbones).
How are vertebrates similar with each other?
They have a backbone and a re normally more smart than invertebrates.
What are the differences between vertebrates and invertebrates?
Vertebrates have vertebra.Invertebrates don't.
Why are vertebrates larger than invertebrates?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Vertebrates tend to be larger than invertebrates because their skeletal structure, made of bones, provides more support for their bodies to grow bigger. This allows vertebrates to have more complex internal systems and larger body sizes, which can be quite majestic to observe in nature. Just like how a big tree grows from a strong trunk, vertebrates grow bigger thanks to their sturdy backbone.
