d. Reproduction

The one with the complete answer gets 10 points

Answer 1

a. Features

Aristotle divided all living things between plants (which generally do not move), and animals (which often are mobile to catch their food). In Linnaeus' system, these became the Kingdoms Vegetabilia (later Metaphyta or Plantae) and Animalia (also called Metazoa). Since then, it has become clear that the Plantae as originally defined included several unrelated groups, and the fungi and several groups of algae were removed to new kingdoms. However, these are still often considered plants in many contexts, both technical and popular.

When the name Plantae or plants is applied to a specific taxon, it is usually referring to one of three concepts. From smallest to largest in inclusiveness, these three groupings are:

Land plants, also known as Embryophyta or Metaphyta. As the narrowest of plant categories, this is further delineated below.

Green plants - also known as Viridiplantae, Viridiphyta or Chlorobionta - comprise the above Embryophytes, Charophyta (i.e., primitive stoneworts), and Chlorophyta (i.e., green algae such as sea lettuce). It is this clade which is mainly the subject of this article.

Archaeplastida - also known as Plantae sensu lato, Plastida or Primoplantae - comprises the green plants above, as well as Rhodophyta (red algae) and Glaucophyta (simple glaucophyte algae). As the broadest plant clade, this comprises most of the eukaryotes that eons ago acquired their chloroplasts directly by engulfing cyanobacteria.

Informally, other creatures that carry out photosynthesis are called plants as well, but they do not constitute a formal taxon and represent species that are not closely related to true plants. There are around 375,000 species of plants, and each year more are found and described by science.

b. Movements

Plants only move in their own place, but animals can move freely. Aldo plants only move in their own place, they can scatter seeds. How? Birds will eat some fruits in the plant, but they don't mind they've eaten fruit's seeds. So if they fece, the seeds will be dropped to the soil then it'll be scattered. That is also same when a strong wind blew the plant.

c. Feeding

Plants only eat by absorbing nutrients soil absorbed. That way plants feed. While animals eat food freely in any place.

d. Reproduction

Plants reproduce by pollination. While animals reproduce by the mixing of egg and sperm cells.

Answer 2

Features:

animals have blood flowing through them and organs, tissues, digestive systems etc.

Movements:

animals have muscles that control movement but plants rely on external stimuli

Feeding:

animals must have food passed through the mouth where as plants absob it through their root systems

Reproduction:

animals but have a partner but plants can reproduce by them selves(seeds)

Answer 3

Features

-animals tend to be occasionally annoying, while plants just sit there(hey, if you got pissed of by a plant, it's probably your fault. :D)

Movements

-animals can walk, swim, fly, crawl, run, jump, stare...whew! long list. While plant can....uhhmmm.....drink, stand still(not moving is still counted as "moving" :)), sway, and as the best they can do....creep.

Feeding

-animals suck, gnaw, chew, munch, chomp, or swallow whole. Plants can drink, "sun-bathing"(remember photosynthesis?), and dissolve(think fly-traps. :))

Reproduction

-animals can do "acts of congress", or simply multiply. While plants goes with "bearing seeds" :D

that was fun to answer really. :D :P
