Kingdom Plantae Similarities
Members of the Kingdom Plantae share both similarities and differences with members of the Kingdom Animalia. These differences can largely be categorized under the titles cell biology, cell growth, physiology, and development. Regarding cell biology, it is important to understand that both categorize their cells as eukaryotic. The Encyclopedia Britannica defines eukaryotes as “any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus”. While both cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, mitochondria, and golgi apparatuses, other structures vastly differ. For example, a plant has a plasma membrane composed of a cell wall and cell membrane, while an animal cell only has a cell membrane. The cells also differ in vacuole size, as plants

    1.) In the structure of a eukaryotic plant cell consist of a membrane-closed nuclei and organelles, since they developed a process in which they manufacture their own food. The Chlorophyll, which gives the plant the green color captures sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and carbs, in which are used for the repetition of the cycle. Not only does the plant cell consist of a membrane, unlike other eukaryotic cells it additionally has a cell wall in since it has a much bigger central vacuole. They also have plasmodesmata, and chloroplast only found in plant cells. A nonphotosynthetic prokaryotic cell would differ from a generalized eukaryotic plant cell by the presence of a nucleus and the structures of the cell. Plants do not have bones structural strength besides the membrane, also the vacuoles contain nutrients and liquids and the chloroplasts contain the organelles that help the plant to get energy form the sunlight. A prokaryotic cell usually gets its energy from sugars and other organic substances and they have a cytoskeleton like cilia.…

    Plant Cells have cell walls, which makes them appear rectangular or square in shape,, plant cells have chlorophyll the light absorbing pigment required for photosynthesis. First, animal cells don't have central vacuoles or cell walls. Cell Walls are composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and other material Animal cells do not have cell walls they only have a cell membrane, this makes their shape round/fluid they have lysosones which plants do not, versus the plant cell which is more angular/rigid. Plant cells have chloroplasts to convert light into energy, animals do not. Animal cells contain centriole, lysosome, and flagellum, where as most plant cells do not. Both contain DNA unique to their species or type of plant.…

    Ap Bio- Fungi

    For many years, fungi were classified into the plantae kingdom because the two kingdoms seemed to be alike; but now, we know that they are all too different. In fact, the fungi kingdom is more closely related to the animalia kingdom. Some of the only notable similarities between the fungi and plantae kingdoms are that they are both made of eukaryotic cells, both immobile, both contain cell walls (although made of different material), and both evolved from the protista kingdom.…

    Ways in which living organisms differ from each other

    There are two different types of cells, there are prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Within eukaryotes there are different structures and similar structures. For example; in a plant cell they have a nucleus, mitochondria an ER, and a Golgi body. These are the same as animal cells; however they differ because plants cells have a cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole and they use starch for storage whereas an animal cell has lysosomes, rough ER, smooth ER and ribosomes. Eukaryotes differ from prokaryotes because prokaryotes have no nucleus, they just have a loop of DNA and they also have no membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes also have a cell wall, along with a slime capsule, flagellae and plasmids.…

    Compare And Contrast Kingdom Plantae Vs Kingdom Animalia

    Kingdom Plantae vs. Kingdom Animalia The cellular biology of a plant cell has some key differences from an animal cell, which make the identification much simpler. Plant cells contain a rigid non-living cell wall that lies outside the cell membrane and is made of cellulose, while animal cells contain a plasma membrane but have no cell wall. Plant cells also contain plastids which help to give the plants their colors, along with a large central vacuole that contains mostly water.…

    Different Differences Between Plants And Animals

    According to Reece et al. (2015), animals can be described as organisms that are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes that have tissues made from embryos. The difference between plants and animals are from their source of nutrients. Plants get their food by making them through a process called photosynthesis, which makes plants an autotroph. Animals, on the other hand, get their food by consuming other organisms and ingesting them, which makes them a heterotroph. Besides that, there are also variations in their cell structures. Plant cells have cell walls to protect them from the surrounding where else animals do not have it. The animal kingdom is diverse because there are two ways animals can develop, through protostome development or deuterostome…
