Plants are classified by what rather than by phylum?
Plants are classified by divisions rather than by phylum. The phylum is very broad and may be quite confusing in classification of the plants.
Why are the amoeba and the paramecium not classified as plants?
Amoeba and paramecium are not classified as plants because they are both single-celled organisms that belong to the Kingdom Protista. Plants, on the other hand, are multicellular organisms that belong to the Kingdom Plantae and have distinct cellular structures, such as cell walls and chloroplasts, which amoebas and paramecia lack.
Why are sponges not plants?
Because they don't perform photosynthesis, they are actually tiny animals!
Which aspect of sponge reproduction would be evidence that they are more like animals than plants?
Aspect- Sponges reproduce asexually and sexually which goes to show that it's more of an animal rather then a plant :)
Why are insects considered animals?
They're not exactly plants are they? Insects are complex organisms that respire on organic material rather than produce complex carbohydrate chains from photosynthesis. Hence they are classed as animals.
Why is phytoplankton is classified as a plant instead of an animal?

Why do you think biomes are often classified according to their plant species rather than by the animals that live in the biomes?
Because plants are stationary (can't move). While animals can move around at their own free will and they may migrate. Classifying biomes by animal species may not be 100% accurate, but it can be done.

What animals do gorillas eat?
Gorillas are mainly herbivores. This means that they eat plants and vegetation rather than animals. However, they will occasionally eat insects such as termites.
What is realeased into the air and is used by animals?
A rather vague question. If you are asking about gases then perhaps the answer you seek is oxygen (produced by photosynthesis in plants) which is used by animals (and plants) for respiration. It would be equally valid to suggest water as the answer. For carnivorous animals, birds and insects could be the answer.
