Animals

Animals are living organisms that belong to the kingdom Animalia. They are multicellular, meaning they are made up of multiple cells, and are eukaryotic, which means their cells have a nucleus. Animals are distinct from other organisms, such as plants and fungi, in that they are heterotrophic, meaning they rely on consuming other organisms for energy. They exhibit a wide range of characteristics, including mobility, the ability to respond to stimuli, and the capacity for sexual reproduction. Animals have diverse body structures and functions, allowing them to inhabit various environments and fulfill different ecological roles. They are an essential part of the Earth’s ecosystems and play a significant role in maintaining the balance of nature.
