What is the difference between animals and plants?

Animals have a physical, etheric and astral body. Plants only have a physical and ether body. (Incidentally, man has an additional ego body). Marc Pensieve

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

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??
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

Neither a plant nor an animal. Its a fungi. Different class altogether. Technically not alive in the traditional sense. This statement is false.
Different kingdom even (the currently recognized five kingdoms of organisms: archebacteria, bacteria, animals, plants and fungi). The point someone else made is the defining characteristic I think (been a loooong time since University): plants have cell walls, animals do not. Fungi have cell walls, but it is of a different material and there is usually a "hole" in them, allowing cellular material to pass between the cells. For completeness, bacteria also have cell walls (different material) and different ribosomes and DNA composition. Archebacteria are. just. weird. -------------- TTFN - Kent
