Invertebrates by Luke

During our section on invertebrates, we learned where and how invertebrates fall into our ecosystems. When we were observing invertebrates we figured out that there are many different types of invertebrates in different habitats. All of the invertebrates have features like tentacles, shells, and exoskeletons to help them survive in their habitats. One thing that all Invertebrates have in common is the lack of a spine. Even though they have a lot in common, they are all split up into different phylums that include mollusks, roundworms, sponges, and arachnids. 

One question that you may be asking yourself is “What Invertebrates are in the ecosystem near me?” It is actually a pretty easy question to answer because it only takes a short trip outside to observe invertebrates. Invertebrates are important because they are a key part of ecosystems. They are a food source for others higher on the food chain. Without them every ecosystem in the world would collapse without warning.
