1.
What is the difference between simple multicellular organisms and complex multicellular organisms?
Answer: Simple multicellular organisms and complex multicellular organisms differ in size, complexity, organizational structure, and how they reproduce.
2.
How are plants and animals similar and different?
Answer: Similarities: Both plants and animals are composed of cells that have specialized functions, they both pass down genetic information, and they both respond to external stimuli. Differences: Plants are autotrophs (produce their own food via photosynthesis), animals are heterotrophs (consume external food for energy). Plants are fixed in their structure and they reproduce differently than animals.
3.

5.
