animals
Scientists estimate that there may be between 3 and 30 million species of
animals on our planet. If you're just starting to learn about animals and
wildlife, it would be an overwhelming task to try and memorize species, one by
one.

charicturistics
characteristics such as multicellularity, heterotrophy, diploidy, and eukaryotic
cells. Although it's easy to say, for instance, that a giraffe, a whale,
or a dog is an animal, it's more challenging to explain precisely
why they are animals.

location
All diffrent kinds of animals are found all over the world.
importance
All animals play an important part in the environment. Some animals help to
assist in the cycle of different nutrients throughout the ecosystem while others
are important because they help to speed up decomposition. Most animals are
important because they are a part of the food chain that helps other animals
higher up in the chain survive.

multi or uni
Animals are not the only organisms that are multicellular, land plants and some
species of algae and fungi also are multicellular. So although multicellularity
is a characteristic shared by all animals, it is not a characteristic
unique to animals.

pro or eu
Animals are eukaryotes, this means animals are made up of cells that have a
nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and
ribosomes.

auto or hetero
All animals are heterotrophs which means they ingest plants and
other organisms as a way to get their carbon the energy they need to
live.
