ANIMALS AND PLANTS
1
We can distinguish animals from plants by looking at their
contrasting modes of nutrition. Unlike plants, animals cannot manufacture their
own food. Animals cannot construct organic molecules from inorganic chemicals as
plants can during photosynthesis. Animals must take pre-formed organic molecules
into their bodies. Most animals do this by ingestion--that is, by eating other
organisms or organic material. Animals store their food reserves as glycogen,
whereas plants store their food as starch.
2
Animal cells lack the cell walls that characterize plant cells, and
animal cells have unique types of junctions between them. In most animals, cells
are successively organized into tissues, organs, and organ systems. Animals have
two types of tissues that plants do not have. The first is nervous tissue, for
the conduction of electrical impulses, and the other is muscle tissue, for
movement. Nerves and muscles, which control active behavior, are unique to
animals.
3 Animal life began in the
Precambrian seas with the evolution of multi-cellular forms that lived by eating
other organisms. This new way of life led to an evolutionary explosion of
diverse forms. Early animals populated the seas, flesh water, and eventually the
land. The diversity of animal life on Earth today is the result of over half a
billion years of evolution from those first ancestors that consumed other life
forms.
