Only plants can be autotrophic (using light or chemical energy as their energy source). Animals are all heterotrophic.

What are the difference between plant animal prokaryote?

Plants, animals, and prokaryotes differ primarily in their cellular structure and organization. Plants and animals are eukaryotic organisms, meaning their cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes, such as bacteria, lack a nucleus and have a simpler cell structure. Additionally, plants are autotrophic, producing their own food through photosynthesis, while animals are heterotrophic, consuming other organisms for energy. Prokaryotes can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic and exhibit a wide range of metabolic diversity.


What differentiates plants from animals or vice-versa?

The cells in their bodies/structures. Plant cells have chloryphyll which is the stuff that makes them green and produces photosynthesis. However, animals do not have this and have almost the same cells as humans with the cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm.


Why do you think cells are so specialized and complex in plants and animals?

Cells are so specialized to carry out all the complex functions in animals and plants.


What are plants and animals small organelles?

plants and animals small organelles are cells.


Why do you think plant cells have chloroplasts and animal cells do not?

chloroplast is a organelle which helps in photosynthesis as it is having chlorophyll pigment responsible for this phenomena and as plant cell need to prepare their own food by photosynthesis so they do have chlorophyll in their cell on the other hand animal cell do not require it as they depend on plants for their food.

Four kingdoms in multicellularity?

The four kingdoms in multicellularity are animals, plants, fungi, and protists. Animals are heterotrophic organisms with specialized cells and tissues. Plants are autotrophic organisms capable of photosynthesis. Fungi are either decomposers or parasites, and protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms.


Where can chlorophyll and chloroplasts be found?

They are in autotrophic eukariyotic cells. They are plants and algae

How would you identify the cells as either plants or animals?

i thought they're just called micro organisms


How are the cellular activities of plants and animals different?

the cellular activity in plants and animals are diffrebt because the plants have diffrent cells to animals for example plants have a cell called dermal cells and animals have red/white blood cells


Is eukarya autotrophic or heterotrophic?

Eukarya refers to all organisms whose cells have a nucleus. This means that they include fungi (which are heterotrophs), animals (which are heterotrophs), plants (which are autotrophs), and protists (some of which are heterotrophs, some autotrophs).


Do eukaryotic have plants and animals cells?

yes they do


How are animal cells different from plants cells?

plant cells are in plants and animal cells are in animals


Do plants and animals both have plastid?

Animals cells do not have plastid but plants do.


Why do plants have cell and animals do not?

Animals do have cells.


Do animals and plants have cells?

Totally, there are definitely cells in plants and animals, but they are very different. In a plant, the cells are in a square shape. In animals, the cells are round. Hope this helps you whoever you are lol!
