Similarities And Differences Between Plants And Animals
Plants and animals have a lot of things in common, so much in fact, I couldn't fit half of them in this essay, there similarities and differences span from the smallest things like cells to huge thing like the whole organism. One thing that plants and animals both have in common is the fact that they adapt, the main thing isn't that they adapt though it's why they do it. Animals, plants, and humans all share the same thing they have a will to leave in different ways, maybe or some might want to live for different reasons, maybe at times, but we all want to achieve one huge goal which is reproduction and the reason we reproduce is usually more times than not to keep our species going on for generations and so the offspring coming into the world …show more content…
One difference that plants have from animals is their cells for a numerous amount of things like the fact that the plant cell has a cell wall and an animal cell does not. A basic need that both animals and plants chare is that they both need key things to live like water and foods of some sort. Plants are very cool they have hidden traits and/or actions a lot of people don't know about like for example that grass smell that some people love and think is great is really basically the plant yelling for help or sending a warning to the other plants nearby like animals would do sadly unlike animals thought plans can't move so in that situation I don't really know what good a warning would do to the other plants nearby. Animals can also do incredible things like for example the speed of a cheetah the crazy big size of a whale and the ability to blend into its environment like a chameleon. This documentary taught me a lot of thing for one it completely changed my views and/or ideas of how plants work and how smart plants actually

    Jane describes how the “day of the triffids” captured her attention as a child. The book described plants devouring humans although not occurring at this place and time insects do get devoured by plants. The master plan of plants is to reproduce so there can be more plants one way plants do this is to have fruit in hopes that an animal eats the fruit and then speeds the seed through their poop. Kids spread dandelions very unconsciously by picking them up and blowing the dandelions into the wind Jane Goodall makes a good point about this. In the case that these strategies do not work plants are also able to reproduce sexually and asexually, which helps with the plants master plan to spread their seed. This process can work in a way that is unconstructive as well. If the plant produces too rapidly it can clog water ways and lakes starving oxygen to water killing fish such as the water hyacinth. This adaptation of reproduction is not a defense to the predators. However plants have developed defense mechanisms such as poisons, sharpe needles and violates to protect themselves against predators. The plants can communicate with each other through their chemicals and the fungi in the root system. Plants showed the ability to react and remember in stress induced situations, such as animals with central nervous systems. The chapter ends with Jane Goodall and the loving relationship humans have had with plants throughout some of our time…

    In biology organisms of the same species live within the same living habitats. They share the same needs and do not shun those who live in their habitats. Most organisms live with an understanding that working together will ensure survival. That is the understanding that if one were to exclude themselves from their pack then one would have a lower survival rate then with their pack. Humans go through their daily lives with the key intention of living for themselves. A study done by the American journal of human biology studied why humans migrate from where they initially lived. They found that humans immigrate in order to move from more rural habitats that…

    This perfectly explains how survival conditions effect the environment. It shows how organisms adapt and do anything because of their will to survive. I guess the planet Earth got lucky that this will to survive and scarcity of food later developed into the extremely successful organism called a plant, which provides the human race with food, oxygen, and many other important…

    Michael Pollan’s film, The Botany of Desire, opened my eyes to the complicated relationship between people and plants. Pollan opened up with the following statement: “Flowers. Trees. Plants. We 've always thought that we controlled them. But what if, in fact, they have been shaping us?” (Pollan, PBS) I paused the film and took a few minutes to let this soak in. I was always under the impression that we were manipulating plants to our benefit only. I never thought that the plants were gaining something as well. The narrator explains, “The Botany of Desire examines this relationship by telling the stories of four plants that ensured their survival…

    Man has come a long way from the caveman days and so has our understanding of the world around us. Humans have always used plants and animals in one capacity or another, yet when a person thinks of the phrase 'plants and animals', they automatically begin thinking about the differences between the two. Well I say that plants and animals have been known far too long for their differences. And as different as they seem, plants and animals are very similar in the following areas: reproduction, human uses, and the requirement of water. Even though plants and animals can be distinguished from one another, evolution has bridged the gap between the two more than most people realize.…

    Chapter 1 of Plants, animals, and humans portrayed a deep disconnect that most people have with plants. This disconnect carries a completely distorted look at them in comparison to animals. Since, man is evolutionary closer to animals, having many of the same emotional, psychological and physical mechanisms for life and survival, it does make sense that we would be more inclined to examine and relate to animals on a different…

    Just in the little things of how the campus garden does it differently than I'm used to. For example, the campus garden reuses old plants for future enrichment of the soil. The emphasis on replicating natural processes like putting two coexisting plants on top of each other is new to me. I tend to think of plants as needing to be separated out in a garden bed. In my mind, a garden should also have the plants only in the beds and the paths well kept. However, through this experience I am seeing the value in letting a garden go more natural. I have a new appreciation for the small plants I normally would deem weeds and rip out. Those plants I am learning can have value in the whole system of the garden. One such plant I always rip out I have recently learned enriches the soil for the main…
