Simple Invertebrates
Habitat:
Some live in water, some live inside a host. Others can live on land.
Reproduction:
Could be asexual or sexual depending on the specific organism
Anatomical Features:
Will depend on the specific organism, but the organism will NOT have a backbone. This means that the organism is likely to have either an endoskeleton or exoskeleton.
Evolutionary Milestones:
Hollow nerve tubes
Predators/Prey:
- Could be a filter feeder, herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore depending on the individual organism
Predators: predators include almost every other organism as simple invertebrates are a very broad name that includes things such as mollusks, annelids, arthropods, and echinoderms. The predators for each is listed on their page.
Symmetry:
Radial or Bilateral
Mobility:
Will depend on the organism. Invertebrates such as spiders can hop and crawl. Other invertebrates can fly or are non-motile.
Development:
Development will depend on the organism. As some produce asexually and other produce sexually, this will differ greatly.
Invertebrates make up 95 to 99 percent of animals.
