Living species of chordates are classified into three major subphyla: Vertebrata, Urochordata, and Cephalochordata. Vertebrates are all chordates that have a backbone. The other two subphyla are invertebrate chordates that lack a backbone.

Invertebrates have no backbone, while vertebrates have a well-developed internal skeleton of cartilage and bone and a highly developed brain that is enclosed by a skull. A nerve cord is enclosed by vertebrae — individual bones that make up a vertebrate's spine.

Invertebrates are animals without spines, while vertebrates have a spine. Invertebrates are sometimes (mistakenly) thought of as primitive because of their lack of developed organs.

Invertebrates are generally soft-bodied animals that lack a rigid internal skeleton for the attachment of muscles but often possess a hard outer skeleton (as in most mollusks, crustaceans, and insects) that serves, as well, for body protection.

Both chordates and vertebrates contain a nerve cord, pharyngeal gill slits, and post-anal tail at some points of their life. The main difference between chordates and vertebrates is that some chordates do not have a vertebral column whereas all vertebrates have a vertebral column.

Animals can be classified into two main groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. The main difference between vertebrates and invertebrates is that invertebrates, like insects and flatworms, do not have a backbone or a spinal column. Examples of vertebrates include humans, birds, and snakes.

Invertebrates are generally soft-bodied animals that lack a rigid internal skeleton for the attachment of muscles but often possess a hard outer skeleton (as in most mollusks, crustaceans, and insects) that serves, as well, for body protection.

Vertebrates possess a backbone and an internal skeleton. Vertebrates do not possess an exoskeleton. Nearly all invertebrates possess an open circulatory system. All vertebrates have closed circulatory systems.

The phylum chordata (animals with backbones) is divided into five common classes: fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. Show examples of these groups and explain the characteristics that make one different from another.

Answer: Vertebrates are more complex organisms in comparison to the invertebrates. The main difference between these two is that vertebrates possess a backbone and a solid internal skeleton. Also, some vertebrates, are having bones replaced with the cartilage-like in sharks.

Flexi Says: Both invertebrates and vertebrates are multicellular eukaryotes that lack cell walls. All animals are heterotrophs. They have sense organs, the ability to move, and internal digestion. They also have sexual reproduction as a common mode of producing their offspring.
