Animal Feeding Habits Quiz

Plants exhibit a wide range of shapes and sizes, while animals tend to have more defined forms and sizes.

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates.

Instead of 'carnivorous,' insect-trapping is a more accurate term for plants like the pitcher plant that capture insects for nutrients.

Chemosynthesis uses energy from chemicals released from hydrothermal vents to create food energy.

Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are both processes that convert environmental energy into food energy stored in carbohydrates.

Insect-trapping plants like the pitcher plant capture insects to decompose them and absorb essential mineral nutrients.

The cell wall is a rigid, non-living enclosure found in plant cells, primarily composed of cellulose. It provides structural support and protection.

Centrioles are absent in plant cells but present in animal cells. During cell division, they serve as poles for chromosome orientation.

Starch is the primary storage form of carbohydrates in plants. It acts as a reserve energy source.

During respiration, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen (O2).

Regeneration is the ability of some organisms, like starfish and newts, to regrow lost body parts.

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in animal cells but not in plant cells. They are responsible for intracellular digestion.

Meristems are specialized plant tissues responsible for growth and organ replacement. They contain undifferentiated cells that can develop into various tissues.

During embryonic development in animals, embryonic tissues differentiate into adult structures.

Plant cells have cell walls, providing structural support and protection, while animal cells lack cell walls.

The development of embryonic tissues into adult structures limits animal growth compared to plants, which can continue growing indefinitely.
