give and five different between vertebrates and invertebrates
Answers
Vertebrates have a backbone with a spinal cord, whereas invertebrates do not.
• The diversity is exceptionally high among the invertebrates compared to vertebrates.
• Vertebrates are always bilaterally symmetrical, while invertebrates could show either bilateral or radial symmetry.
• Vertebrates are usually large-bodied and move fast compared to invertebrates.
• Vertebrates have a closed blood system, a well-developed brain, either gills or lungs for respiration, and a complex and sophisticated nervous system, whereas those are primitive in invertebrates. Therefore, it concerns that vertebrates have many specializations to extract the best out of the environment compared to invertebrates.
Despite all these changes, someone could draw a point that invertebrates are more adaptive due to their simplicity, whereas vertebrates do not have a good adaptability in comparison because of the specialization. However, I would like to quote a popular quote to finish that in evolution specialization paralyses and ultra specialization kills the viability of taxons.
