Question

Write atleast 7 general differences between plantae and animalia.

If u know then only answer it please...

​

Answer 1

Plantae

1. Have a green pigment chlorophyll.

2. Usually fixed into the soil and cannot move about freely, atthe most can only bend

3. Can make their own food using carbon dioxide and water in sunlight (photosynthesis)

4. Have no special digestive organ because they synthesise their own food.

5. Plant cell have a firm cell wall made of cellulose on the outside of the cell membrane.

6. Plant cells usually have larger vacuoles containing sap.

7. Plants have relatively low level of organisation with only two organ systems -- root system and shoot system.

8. Keep growing throughout life (interdeterminate growth).

9. Growth confined to apices of root and shoot (localised growth).

10. Their bodies are of spreading type in order to have large surfaces for absorption of gases, water and sunlight.

11. They respond slowly to external stimuli, such as light, gravity, touch, etc.

Animalia

1. Do not have chlorophyll.

2. Can move about freely from place to place (except the fixed point, corals, etc.)

3. Cannot make their own food and so have to feed on plants on other animals.

4. Have special digestive organs because they have to digest and absorbed the ingested readymade food.

5. No cellulose cell wall. Only cell membrane is present.

6. Animal cells have no vacuoles; if present, they are small and temporary, concerned with excretion and secretion.

7. Animals have a high level of organisation with definite organ systems like the digestive respiratory, reproductive systems, etc.

8. Growth stops after a definite body shape and size established all the body cells are replaced from time to time (determinate growth).

9. Growth is uniform and proportionate affecting all parts of the body.

10. Have compact bodies in order to be able to move.

11. They respond quickly to external stimuli.
