Summary Introduction

To review:

The difference between animals and from other major groups of living organisms.

Introduction:

Animals fall in higher rank to all the other major living organisms. They are multicellular (compared to bacteria, archaea, and most protists) heterotrophs, whereas almost all plants, few bacteria, and archaea are autotrophs. Digestion is intracellularly contrasted to fungi though both of them follow the same mode of nutrition. Movement is one of their major characteristic supported by a well-developed nervous system unlike most of the fungi and plants.
