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. |

Develop a DICHOTOMOUS KEY to the CLASSES of Phylum ECHINODERMATA: Class Asteroidea (specimen: Linkia (blue sea star)), Class Ophiuroidea (specimen: Ophiotrix (brittle star)), Class Echinoidea (specimen: Diadema (black sea urchin)), & Class Holothuroidea (specimen: Holothuria (sea cucumber)) 2. Develop a DICHOTOMOUS KEY to the CLASSES of Subphylum VERTEBRATA; Class Amphibia (specimen: Rhinella marina (toad)), Class Reptilia (specimen: Coura amboinensis (turtle), Hemidactylus (house lizard), Elaphe erythrura (snake)), Class Aves (specimen: Gallus gallus (chicken)), Class Mammalia (specimen: Homo sapiens (human))arrow_forward
