Modes of Nutrition
Plant- Autotrophic (Photosynthesis)
Animal- Heterotrophic
Comparing and Contrasting Transportation
Plants-
- Absorb nutrients through roots
- Vascular tissues (xylem) transport nutrients from roots to leaves
- Phloem transports sugar molecules, amino acids, and hormones
- Leaves have veins to transport nutrients
- Root pressure pushes water from roots
Animals-
- Circulatory system moves blood
- Respiratory system
Both-
- Use water as a medium to transport substances
- Transport vitamins and minerals
Comparing and contrasting Response System
Plant-
- Transmit information about light intensity
- "Remember" and "react" to info encrypted in light
Animal-
- Nervous system
Both-
- Receive from the external and then react internal
Comparing and Contrasting Reproduction
Plant-
- Asexual
Animal-
- Sexual
Both-
- Similar reproductive organelles
