A Correct answer
Explanation

The cell is the structural unit of life. Unicellular organisms are made up of one cell that performs all the functions and thus, called as a single-celled organism.

.............. are those animals which have no backbone.

  1. Invertebrates

  2. Vertebrates

  3. Mammals

  4. Aves
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The vertebral column is a supportive structure derived from the notochord. It is more commonly called the backbone or the spine. Animals that do not possess or develop a vertebral column or backbone are commonly called invertebrates. They include crabs, snails, lobsters, octopuses, sea urchins, worms, etc.

So, the correct answer is 'Invertebrates'.

Human beings are invertebrate.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Vertebrates are the animals that possess a dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal gill slits, and a notochord at some stage of their lives. Human beings are mammals that possess all three of these characteristics and are hence vertebrates.

So, the correct answer is 'False'.

Give the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates.

  1. Invertebrates do not have notochord vertebrates have notochord.

  2. The heart of invertebrates is present on dorsal side, while heart of vertebrate is present on ventral side.

  3. Invertebrates are less evolved animals where as chordata are highly evolved animals.

  4. All of the above.

D Correct answer
Explanation
  • Invertebrates do not have a notochord, their heart is present on the dorsal side. They are less evolved animals, 
  • whereas vertebrates have notochords, their heart is on the ventral side and they are highly evolved animals.

Vertebrates do not posses a notochordat any stage.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Vertebrates are animals that possess a notochord, a dorsal hollow nerve cord and pharyngeal gill slits at some stage of their lives. They might possess these characteristics during the initial stages of their lives and lose them later on or they might develop these features later in their lives.

So, the correct answer  is 'False'.

In non chordates, blood flow is _________ is ventral vessel and __________ in dorsal vessel.

  1. Backward, backward

  2. Backward, forward

  3. Forward, backward

  4. Forward, forward
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In most non-chordates (like earthworms), the blood flow in the ventral vessel is directed forward (anteriorly) and in the dorsal vessel, it is directed backward (posteriorly).

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • 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 good adaptability in comparison because of the specialization. However, I would like to quote a popular quote to finish that in evolution specialization paralyzes and ultra specialization kills the viability of taxons.
