What characteristic distinguishes animals from plants

1 answer

The main characteristic that distinguishes animals from plants is that animals are multicellular, heterotrophic organisms with the ability to move, while plants are multicellular, autotrophic organisms that are typically anchored in one place by roots. Additionally, animals have specialized sensory organs and nervous systems, while plants do not have these adaptations. Animals also require organic nutrients, such as proteins and fats, to survive, while plants can produce their own food through photosynthesis.
