Autotrophic mode of nutrition
Presence of cell wall
Presence of alternation of generation
Linnaeus used sexual reproduction as the main trait to separate plants from animals. He classified plants as having male and female reproductive organs in the same individual, while animals have separate sexes. This fundamental trait helped him establish the basis for his hierarchical classification system.
No, fungus is not a type of plant. Fungi are a separate kingdom of organisms that are distinct from plants, animals, and bacteria. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants.
plants and animals
Yes, amoeba and paramecium are more like each other than plants and animals because they are both unicellular organisms belonging to the kingdom Protista. Plants and animals are multicellular organisms belonging to separate kingdoms (Plantae and Animalia) with distinct characteristics such as cell wall presence and mode of nutrition.
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, and animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals.

The fundamental unit for both plants and animals is the cell. Cells are the basic building blocks of living organisms and carry out essential functions necessary for life. Each cell is specialized to perform specific tasks within the organism's body.
Animals and plants have separate evolutionary paths. They both evolved from a common ancestor but took different paths in their development. Plants evolved from ancient photosynthetic bacteria, while animals evolved from multicellular organisms that were different from plants.
Linnaeus distinguished plants from animals primarily based on fundamental traits such as their mode of nutrition and structural characteristics. Plants were classified as autotrophic, meaning they produce their own food through photosynthesis, while animals were categorized as heterotrophic, relying on consuming other organisms for energy. Additionally, Linnaeus noted differences in reproductive structures and growth forms, which further defined these two kingdoms in his classification system. This clear separation laid the groundwork for modern biological classification.
No. Fungi are their own kingdom of organisms separate from plants and animals. Insects are animals.
Animals get carbon primarily by consuming plants or other animals that have already taken in carbon through eating plants. Carbon is a fundamental building block of life and is converted into organic molecules through cellular processes to provide energy for growth and maintenance.
Plants and animals are fundamental to ecological balance. Plants could exist without animals but animals could not live without plants. Without animals plants would eventually stabilise to a new level of ecological equilibrium.
No, fungus is not a type of plant. Fungi are a separate kingdom of organisms that are distinct from plants, animals, and bacteria. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants.
Protozoa are basically protists. They are NOT animals or plants; they are often considered as a separate kingdom.
Yes, both plants and animals have DNA as their genetic material. DNA carries the genetic instructions that determine the traits and functions of living organisms. While there may be variations in the specific sequences and structures of DNA between plants and animals, the fundamental genetic material is the same.
The main difference is that the plant kingdom has cell walls, and the animal kingdom doesn't. Plants use photosynthesis to create energy from sunlight, while animals use metabolism to create energy from food.
No, plants are a separate kingdom known as Kingdom Plantae, while animals belong to Kingdom Animalia. Bacteria are prokaryotes, meaning they lack a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, which distinguishes them from eukaryotes like plants and animals.
