They are a lot of difference between plants and animals, for example animals their legs, fin, and wings to move while plants are fixed to their position, but show some fical movement on certain part of their body, such as the shoots/stems and roots. Some of the movement in plants are being exhibited by strong wind and so many others.

*The differences are as follows

NutritionAnimal can't make their food but depends on plants for their foodGreen plant have chlorophyll and can make their own food
Locomotionthey have a nice well define locomotion parts and can be use in search of foodthey have no locomotry parts hence can not move from one place to another
Respirationthey have organs for respiration where respiratory movement are being carried outHave no organs for respiratory, hence no respiratory movement
Excretionhave a well develop respiratory organsdoesn't have respiratory organs
GrowthGrowth is limited with fixed members of organs, growth occurs in all parts of the body.Growth is unlimited with production of new branches, leaves and flowers. This is at the tip of the roots and steem
Cellcovercells are enclosed by flexible membrane which allows for change in shape. Support is from the change of the posses of exoskeletoncell are enclosed by cellulose cell wall which offers them support

*Similarities

  • Both plant and animal are made up of cells.
  • Both grow, but animal grow to some certain extent.
  • Both plant and cell are very sensitive to their environment.
  • They need food to get energy.
  • They released energy during respiration for life activities.

To conclude this I will love to say, each of them have their own activities they undergo.
