Directions and Analysis Part A
In this activity, you’ll consider three living beings: a vertebrate, an invertebrate, and a plant. You will compare and contrast their characteristics and identify the differences between them. First, use credible resources to define the words plant, invertebrate, and vertebrate. Next, choose an organism from each category to compare and contrast. Be specific in choosing each organism. For example, instead of shark, name a specific type of shark, such as the great white shark. Write down your definitions of the words plant, invertebrate, and vertebrate, and name the three living organisms you’ll study.
