Yes, you're right. On the topic of vertebrates, you just have to think about whether the animal has a backbone. Actually, if it has ANY bones, you can be sure it's a vertebrate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First question, you are right - vertebrates have backbones. For the second question, animals are not autotrophic of any kind - they are heterotrophs. Do plants digest food? Do plants reproduce by binary fission? So you're right on both questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so im right on both?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Yep, you are right on both.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Cell wall is a characteristic feature of Plants. No animal cell has a cell wall. Fungi also have cell wall but there cell wall is made up of chitin and not cellulose.
