What is the difference between animals and plants?
-
I once heared this question, and I am honest, I did not know. So I ask you to be honest and to answer, before looking in books ore to ask wikipedia ore something else in the internet. It's such a simple question, I was not able to answer, but I would like to know - is it just me??
An aside: When humans forget that they are plants and animals, they become pests. I would initially refer to sentience, or a brain, but do coral have brains? Good question. Animals can move to another location. Plants require intervention to change location. That's my guess. [edit] but then lilies can move around.. so dunno [edit] This statement is false. -- modified at 14:30 Saturday 15th July, 2006

Neither a plant nor an animal. Its a fungi. Different class altogether. Technically not alive in the traditional sense. This statement is false.

Corals are emotionally disordered animals. They should be removed from the category. Animals who spend their whole life in the same place place are "couch" potatoes. Thus are plants. :-D regards, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

You are very near with the moving!! So, if we need some energy, we do what? And what do plants do??;)
Well, not all plants use chlorophyll, there are some plants they discovered down deep in the ocean where there is no light, and they synthesize what they need from the chemicals found around them. So... light is out of the question. Do Coral eat? Venus fly traps eat flies. I am so trying not to google. :doh:;P) This statement is false.

You say no, but it is yes. Light is the answer, as I know. Plants get their energy from light - animals from plants or other animals. The trap is - there are not only plants and animals on our planet. Mashrooms are a third one, and maybe you talked about another one! :rose::rose:

Yeah, I was watching Discovery Channel, or one of those, the other day and they were surprised at the new species they discovered living without light, plants. They gathered what they needed from the chemicals in around them, also there were some species living in like 500 degrees F as well. I think our current clasifications might be a little limited. What about the Venus fly trap though? That one is a plant that eats animals, well, insects. This statement is false.

Yes...The difference is the rigid cell wall thing, and in addition chloroplasts and cholorophyll. Yes, Mushrooms are fungi and not plants. Those things at the bottom of the ocean are inbetween being plants and their own thing (if they aren't a completely different kingdom altogether (I don't remember)) They are called chemophages, from the greek for "chemical" (basically) and "eat" Locomotion has little to do with plant/animal, and neither does sneezing; however hiccuping is very important to distinguish plants from animals.

They aren't plants, they are actually primitive bacteria that feed on sulfur-based chemical compounds comming from thermal vents. And the things you saw are tube-worms(contrary to their name thay aren't really worms either) that grow around those vents in the ocean floor and feed on the bacteria. But like plants, those bacteria are autotrophes, that is producers. Animals are the consumers, and so are some bacteria (think E. coli), protozoa like amoeba, venus-flytrap type plants, coral (i believe those guys eat plankton, which are little one-celled ocean dwelling organisms, including diatoms).

etheric? astral? :~ I can buy the astral aspect, as we're all star poop. But that includes plants too. :)

Plants do not have a brain. Nor do they have a memory, eyes (as we do, but they can still process light), ears, etc. Their only stimuli into this existence would be touch, I suspect (think of a Venus fly trap). I'd wager plants aren't self-aware by our standards (no memory makes it difficult), but they can be based on primitive standards. Jeremy Falcon

Occasionally I let loose with a bit of Anthroposophy. That question, and it's answer, is one of the core concepts of spiritual science. :) Marc Pensieve
