1. COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF
ANIMALS AND PLANTS FOR
CLASSIFICATION(GRADE6)
PRESENTED BY: OLIGAN, ROSEL

2. Plants and Animals are both living things, but
at first glance, they seem very different.
Animals tend to move around, while
Plants stay rooted in one place.

3. Both plants and animals are living things, they
have cells. Cells are the smallest functional
units of living organisms, and they make up
every part of organism bodies.

4. Animals eat their food , while plants convert
sunlight into the energy they need. Despite
these differences scientists argue that plants
and animals are more similar that they are
different.

5. Both plants and animal cell carry DNA –genetic
material that is passed down from one
generation to another. Cell division is how
individual animals and plants grow and replace
parts of themselves.

6. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CELL DIVISION

7. Animal cells absorb nutrients from food ,
while plant cell absorb energy from
sunlight via a process called
photosynthesis.

8. Plants and animals are made up of cells
containing DNA and both of them require
energy to reproduce and grow. The
presence of DNA and RNA is the
characteristic of both plants and animals.

9. In terms of reproduction they are
also similar here in such a way
that both produce gametes that
fuse to form a zygote.

10. COMMON CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN
PLANTS AND ANIMALS:
• For the process of reproduction both possess reproductive organs.
• Both are living and at some point in life, they both die.
• Both the species possess DNA and RNA.
• Both the species possess energy transforming and utilizing systems.
• Both possess complication compositions for the process of
transportation.
• For the development of the body both the species possess cells ,
which require specific levels of pH, nutrients, macromolecules, etc.

11. ANIMAL CLASSIFICATION
VERTIBRATES – ANIMALS WITH
BACKBONES.
INVERTIBRATES- ANIMALS WITHOUT
A BACKBONES.

12. PLANT CLASSIFICATION:
VASCULAR PLANTS
NON VASCULAR PLANTS

13. VASCULAR PLANTS
•Have tissues that act like tubes to
transport water through the plants. They
have roots, stems, and leaves.

14. NON VASCULAR PLANTS
• Lack a water-transport system. They
have no tissues. They must live near
water because they absorb the water
from their surroundings. They DO NOT
have true roots.

15. NOTE:
PLANTS AND ANIMALS ARE SIMILAR
IN MANY WAYS. AT THE MOST
OBVIOUS LEVEL THEY GROW,
REPRODUCE AND DIE.
