Eukaryote

Vertebrates are eukaryotic because they

have complex structures in a

membrane.

Multicellular

Vertebrates are multicellular because

they contain more than one cell.

Heterotrophic

Vertebrates are unable to make their

own food and must obtain their energy

from eating other organism.

No Cell Wall

Vertebrates do not have a cell wall

because only plants, bacteria, fungi,

algae, and some archaea have cell

walls.

Spinal Cords

Vertebrates have a backbone and a

notochord to give the nerves on its back

support.
