7. Define invertebrates and give three examples. A 16 Invertebrates are animals without backbones. An outer covering, such as a shell usually supports its body. This is called an exoskeleton.
Lobster Exoskeleton-no backbone
Spider Exoskeleton – no backbone
What does exoskeleton mean? It is an external skeleton found in an invertebrate. This definition is not found in the book.
The name of the largest group of invertebrates is: (A16) Arthropods
More Arthropods
Define arthropods. Give 3 examples. A16 Arthropods have legs with several joints and they do not have a backbone. Example: ants, spiders, crabs
Ants-legs with joints, no backbone arthropod
Spider- legs with joints, no backbone arthropod
Crab- legs with joints, no backbone arthropod
11. Name the only mammal that flies. A17 Bat
12. What is the name of the group of animals that have a backbone, an internal skeleton, fur, and they give birth to live young? Mammals (Not in book)
