What are the characteristics that distinguish animals?

Answer 1

While both differ in many ways, they still share similarities. For example, both require food and water to survive. Also, both can grow,get sick, and die. They also have similarities in there cells.

Answer 2

Animals obtain energy by eating food. Plants obtain energy by making food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Animals move purposefully at least during some stage of their lives, and plants never move from place to place (although some plants are capable of tilting slowly, or shutting, such as the Venus Flytrap).

Plants have chloroplasts (to produce food), and cell walls. Animals have neither cell walls nor chloroplasts.

Answer 3

1. Animals engulf the prepared food whereas plants either prepare their own food by photosynthesis or absorb from other organisms.

2. Plant cells are provided with a cell wall whereas animal cells are without a cell wall.

Answer 4

"Animals can move about.

They eat by consuming their food rather than by taking in liquids via their sap.

No plants have legs or arms

No plants can think, or see, or hear, or taste or smell."

#1- Sap has nothing to do with taking in water, root tips do. ALL water and broken down nutrients are absorbed through the roots, specifically the tips.

#2- Animals need H2O- All living things need water. Animals "consume" water.

#3- It is called Autotrophic and Heterotrophic. Auto meaning it takes one, just the plant. Hetero meaning 2, meaning that the animal needs an external food source.

#4- Their are vine plants that look for things to climb, with arms.

#5- I would also like to address that sap is used when the plant is damaged, it seals in moisture.

Plants are stationary and animals are mobile.

Anyway, #3 is the answer to the question.

Answer 5

Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts, and frequently a large central vacuole. Animals cells do not have these structures.

Answer 6

plant like organisms have chloroplast and a cell wall while, a animal cell has a cytoskelotoen and Ribsomes

Answer 7

cell wall, enlarged central vacuole, chloroplasts

Answer 8

Both plants and animals require biological energy in the form of food to sustain life. Both have growing period and reproductive phase.

Answer 9

Laking cell wall, multicellular
