Kingdom Plantae and Kingdom Animalia are both in Domain Eukarya. How to distinguish between these two kingdoms?
A
Level of cell organization
B
Type of organism
C
Mode of nutrition
D
Based on rRNA sequence
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plantae and Animalia are two kingdoms of living organisms. The major difference between these two kingdoms is that plants are autotrophs while animals are heterotrophs. Plants are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis while animals must consume other organisms to obtain their nutrients.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kingdom Animalia is a taxonomic kingdom that includes both living and extinct animals. They feed in a holozoic heterotrophic manner. There is an internal digestive system for extra-cellular or intracellular digestion and absorption of food and undigested food is discarded.

Detailed explanation-3: -Key Difference: Plants are multicellular eukaryotes that belong to the kingdom, Plantae. Green plants have cellulose cell walls and obtain much of their energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that belong to the kingdom, Animalia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Characteristics of Kingdom Plantae They make their own food and hence are called autotrophs. They reproduce asexually by vegetative propagation or sexually. These are multicellular eukaryotes. The plant cell contains the outer cell wall and a large central vacuole.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants and animals are classified based on how they feed. Plants are autotrophs, while animals are heterotrophs. Plants do not need to migrate from one location to another, whereas most animals must move to find nourishment.
