Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the definition of vertebrates. Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone or spinal column, which is a key characteristic distinguishing them from invertebrates.

Evaluate the statement 'Vertebrates are exclusively aquatic animals.' Consider examples of vertebrates such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Many vertebrates live on land, so this statement is false.

Examine the statement 'Vertebrates have an exoskeleton made of chitin.' Recall that vertebrates have an endoskeleton made of bone or cartilage, not an exoskeleton made of chitin, which is characteristic of arthropods. Therefore, this statement is false.

Consider the statement 'Vertebrates do not have a closed circulatory system.' Understand that vertebrates typically have a closed circulatory system, where blood circulates within vessels, unlike some invertebrates with open circulatory systems. Thus, this statement is false.

Conclude with the statement 'All vertebrates possess a backbone or spinal column.' This is true, as the presence of a backbone is the defining feature of vertebrates.
