What regions of the vertebral column do not contain intervertebral discs?

Are zooplankton vertebrates?

Some are and some are not. The term "zooplankton" just means animals of any kinda that drift through the sea without the ability to swim against currents - mostly we think of tiny organisms like kryll (a kind of shrimp) but even full sized jellyfish are technically zooplankton. Many vertebrates are considered plankton when they are in their larval stage, such as baby fish that are too small to move against the water. Once they grow large enough to move on their own, though, they are no longer zooplankton.

Yes, even if you feel your neck you can know that. If you feel your neck, you can feel your larynx and trachea. If you feel the back of your neck, you can feel vertebrae. Hope this answered your question!

Where does each of the 5 classes of vertebrates fit?

mammals, which are warm blooded (have the same body temperature all the the time, such as in humans is 98.6 degrees), have hair, and, give birth to live young and nurse them (with the exception of the platypus and the echidna, which lay eggs but nurse their young)

birds, which are warm blooded, have feathers, and lay eggs

reptiles, which have scaly skin, lay eggs, and are cold blooded (have the same body temperature as their surroundings, such as a chameleon in an area that is 85 degrees having a body temp. of 85 degrees)

amphibians, which are born in water or a wet area and can live on land or in water as adults, lay eggs, and are cold blooded

and fish, which live in water, breathe through gills, lay eggs, and are cold blooded

How do vertebrate filter feeders obtain food?

Like all filter feeders, vertebrate filter feeders obtain food by filtering suspended food particles from water. The vertebrate filter feeders include various fish, flamingos, and baleen whales. Baleen whales use the baleen plates in their mouths to filter food, such as plankton and fish, from water.

The first vertebrates to evolve were?

This is still in dispute, however, most scientist believe it was a creature from the Cambrian period of the Paleozoic era that we call the Pikaia. It wasn't a fish, but as potentially the first vertebrate, fish probably evolved form it. Some scientists theorize that it was a kind of worm. It had a backbone-like structure and shared other traits most commonly found in vertebrated such as: It was bilaterally symetrical, its head was distinct from its body, and its eyes were in the front of its head.

Stick insect is a vertebrate?

No, they are not vertebrates, they are invertebrates. this is because they instead of having a skeleton on the inside like us, they have an exoskeleton.
