Document Summary

32. 1: animals are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes with tissues that develop from embryonic layers. Animals differ from both plants and fungi in their mode of nutrition. Plants are autotrophic eukaryotes capable of generating organic molecules through photosynthesis. Fungi are heterotrophs that grow on or near their food and that feed by absorption (often they have released enzymes that digest the food outside their bodies). Animals cannot construct all of their own organic molecules. So, in most cases, animals ingest food by either eating living organisms or by eating nonliving organic material. Unlike fungi, most animals feed by ingesting their food and then using enzymes to digest it within their bodies. Unlike plants and fungi: animals lack cell walls. Proteins external to the cell membrane provide structural support to animal cells and connect them to one another. Most abundant protein: collagen- not found in plants or fungi.
