A lancelet is a living organism. It is a type of marine invertebrate with a simple body structure, similar to that of a fish. Lancelets are considered living organisms because they exhibit characteristics of life such as growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli.
Gas exchange in lancelets occurs primarily through their skin and gills. As water flows over the gill slits, oxygen diffuses from the water into the lancelet's blood, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the water. This process is facilitated by the lancelet's position in the water and its constant movement, which helps maintain a flow of water over the respiratory surfaces. Overall, the thin-walled gills and skin provide a large surface area for efficient gas exchange.
The lancelet belongs to the subphylum Cephalochordata within the phylum Chordata. They are small, fish-like marine organisms that exhibit characteristics of chordates, such as a notochord and a dorsal nerve cord.
Branchiostoma lanceolatum, also known as the European lancelet, is an example of a lancelet. These marine animals belong to the phylum Chordata and closely resemble the common ancestors of vertebrates. They are typically found in sandy coastal areas where they burrow in the sediment.
Mostly fish-like, with a touch of worm (no fins etc.) In fact we still have an animal that very closely resembles the first vertebrates; the lancelet, and hagfish.
The lancelet is an invertebrate.
A lancelet is a filter feeder with no brain, eyes, or heart. A sea squirt is an example of a lancelet.
i think yes
yes it is living..
Phylum Chordata
lancelet branchiostoma
living
like other cordates except urocortates, lancelet have closed-circulatory system.
An amphioxus is a lancelet, particularly of the genus Branchiostoma.

The Lancelet is a filter feeder, so it will open its mouth - which has up to 100 or so gill slits - and as water passes through the mouth and gills, sticky mucus will catch and hold food particles, and after water has passed through, the Lancelet will swallow the mucus, and ta da! It has food.
No. No felines/mammals/animals are invertebrates either.
