What are the two differences between vertebrates and invertebrates?
Vertebrate
1. Have a well-developed internal skeleton.
2. Tend to be large in size.
3. Have a covering on their body (feathers, skin, fur)
4. classified into five groups: mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish.
5. Also grouped as either warm-blooded or cold-blooded.
6. 2% of all animal species are vertebrates.
Invertebrate
1. Invertebrates do not have a well-developed internal skeleton or internal systems.
2. generally small
3. many invertebrates are filled with fluid. Other invertebrates have a hard shell covering their body.
4. classified into seven groups: coelenterates, annelids(ringed worms), flatworms, roundworms, mollusks, echinoderms, and arthropods.
6. There are two million species of animals in the world, with 98% of them being invertebrates.
