Plant and Animal Structures and Their Functions
How are plants and animals alike?
How are they different?
• They both have needs like water and food.
• They both grow and reproduce.
• They both have parts and structures that help them stay alive.
• Animals need to get food to eat.
• Plants make their own food using energy from the sun, water and CO2.
• They do not have the same parts or structures.
• protection
Department of Mathematics and Science
What needs are common to both? (pp. 4 - 11)
• Protection
• Support
• Water
• Gas exchange
• transport
Department of Mathematics and Science
What are some examples of structures that exist to meet these needs?
Plants• Bark fruit
• Stem – Woody or Nonwoody
• Roots
• Stomata in leaves
Animals• Skin, hair or fur or
shells• Internal Skeleton or Exoskeleton
• Mouth
• Lungs or gills
