2.Name the characteristics that all the plants share
1. Characteristics that all animals share include:
- Presence of cells, multicellular organization
- Ability to move or exhibit motility
- Heterotrophic nutrition, obtaining energy by consuming other organisms
- Sexual reproduction, with some exceptions of asexual reproduction
- Sensory and nervous systems, allowing for perception and response to stimuli
- Growth and development through embryonic stages
- Adaptation and evolution through genetic variation and natural selection
- Ability to maintain homeostasis, regulating internal conditions within a narrow range
2. Characteristics that all plants share include:
- Presence of cells, multicellular organization
- Ability to photosynthesize, using sunlight to synthesize organic molecules
- Autotrophic nutrition, producing their own food through photosynthesis
- Cell walls composed of cellulose, providing structural support
- Complex tissues and organs, such as roots, stems, and leaves
- Reproduction through both sexual and asexual methods, with some plants having the ability to self-fertilize
- Growth and development through distinct life stages, including embryonic and adult stages
- Ability to adapt to their surroundings through various mechanisms, such as changing leaf shape or production of protective chemicals
