Explanation of Solution
Animals differ from plants and fungi in following ways:
Criteria | Animal | Plant | Fungi |
Cellular structure | Animal cells do have cell wall, but other parts are present such as cilia, and tight junction. | Plant cells have cell wall chloroplast, plastids, plasmodesmata, and other organelles. | Fungi cells have membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, and a complex internal membrane. |
Mode of nutrition | Heterotrophs | Autotrophs | Heterotrophs |
Photosynthesis process | Absent | Present | Absent |
Movement | Ability to move from one place to another freely. | Unable to move from one place to another. | Unable to move from one place to another. |
Growth | Organs and organ system support the animal growth. | Plant growth occurs throughout the life. The meristematic system of the root tip and stem supports the plant growth. | In fungi, the fungal spores germinate and form hypae. |
Response | Animal have proper nervous and sensory system. | Plants show response to the external stimuli like light and touch, but they do not have sensory system. | Fungi show response to the external stimuli like light and touch, but they do not have sensory system. |

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Uniporters, Symporters and Antiporters?
