How are the structures that have similar functions alike and different among plants and animals?

the differences between an animal cell and a plant cell is that an animal cell has a cell membrane and a plant cell has a cell wall.

Why do all animals don't need the same structures or functions to survive?
They live in different environments. They have similar basic functions.
Structures that have similar structure and function but different evolutionary origins are called?
It is either homologous structures or homozygous structures. Embryological structures are when different species of animals look similar in the earliest stage of development and Analogous structures are when animals look different but their function is basically the same. So just look up homologous structures and homozygous structures in your Bio book!!
How are the structures of arteries capillaries and veins similar and how are they different?
The structures of arteries, capillaries, and veins are all different, because of their different functions. The only way that they are similar is because they are hollow, and have some elasticity.

Distinguish between homologous structures and analogous structures?
Homologous structures have the internal structure, but different functions. For example the human arm, horse foreleg, bird wing, and whale flipper have similar internal skeletal structure, but different external structure because of their different functions. Analogous structures have similar external structure because of similar functions, but dissimilar internal structure. An example of analogous structures would be the wings of an insect and a bird.
What is a set of analogous structures found in animals?
Similar in appearance and function (different Orgin)
What does it mean if two different animals possess homologous structures?
Homologous structures are similar evolutionary structures that evolved in different organisms that were used for the same purpose long ago but are no longer in use
What is an example of homologous structures?
If a bat, a human, an alligator, and a penguin all evolved from a common ancestor, then they should share common anatomical traits. In fact, they do. Compare the forelimbs of the human, the bat, the penguin, and the alligator. Find the humerus, radius, ulna, and carpals in each forelimb. Though the limbs look strikingly different on the outside and though they vary in function, they are very similar in skeletal structure. More significantly, they are derived from the same structures in the embryo. Structures that are embryologically similar, but have different functions, are called homologous structures. Though these animals look different, a comparison of homologous structures indicates that they are quite similar. This suggests that these animals evolved from a common ancestor.by: Lameace[=
What are homologous structures between birds and bats?
Wings in both birds and bats are considered homologous structures. They have a similar function (flight) but different evolutionary origins – birds have wings made of feathers while bats have wings made of skin stretched between elongated finger bones.
Does homologous mean that structures are similar due to having common ancestry?
homologous structures- same structure/different functions in common ancestors analogous structures-same functions/differnt structures not in common ancestors vestigial-show evolutionary history/structures that arent used anymore (i.e. human appendix/human tailbone)

What is analogous structures?
Structures that have similar functions in two organisms that have not evolved from a common ancestral form. and that is the opposite from homalongouse structure of course love summer miller
