ANIMALS
|
Plants generally are rooted in one place and do not move on their own | Most animals have the ability to move fairly freely. |
Plants contain chlorophyll and can make their own food |
Animals cannot make their own food and are dependent on plants and other animals for food.
|
Plants give off oxygen and take in carbon dioxide given off by animals. | Animals give off carbon dioxide which plants need to make food and take in oxygen which they need to breathe. |
Plants cells have cell walls and other structures differ from those of animals. | Animal cells do not have cell walls and have different structures than plant cells |
Plants have either no or very basic ability to sense. | Animals have a much more highly developed sensory and nervous system. |
We have been investigating the difference between plant and animal cells by looking under the microscope. One of the key differences is between the CELL structure.
