What are the three main ways in which plants and animals are different?
Movement, Nutrition, Reproduction
In what ways are plants and animals different as it relates to movement?
Plants do not move around. Animals do. Plants grow roots that anchor them in the soil, these roots then absorb water and nutrients.
In what ways are plants and animals different as it relates to Nutrition?
Plants use chlorophyll to make their own food using photosynthesis. They also use sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air and water and mineral salts form the soil to make their own food. Animals do not make their own food they hunt for it or eat plants.
In what ways are plants and animals different as it relates to reproduction?
Plants reproduce via seeds, spores or vegetation (which is where a piece of the plant falls off). Animals reproduce by giving birth to live young, laying eggs or simply by dividing their bodies onto two.
