Answer:

a) Both have an eukaryotic cell type.

In both multicellularity is present in all forms.

b) Kingdom plantae have a rigid cell wall while in kingdom animalia they lack a cell wall.

Kingdom plantae autotrophic in nature while kingdom animalia are heterotrophic in nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The kingdom plantae and kingdom animalia their cells nucleus are enclosed by membranes that selectively allows molecules ,ions or other small particles into the cell thus they are said to be eukaryotic.,
  • They also have more than one cell that perform different functions and have different characteristics thus leading to tissue and organ development.
  • In kingdom plantae the cell wall protects the cell from mechanical damage and enable the plants to grow in greater heights unlike in kingdom animalia where the animals have skeletons and musculature.
  • In kingdom plantae most plants have chlorophyll thus they manufacture their own food through a process called photosynthesis (changing inorganic materials to organic molecules)thus gaining energy for growth unlike in kingdom animalia where the organisms feed on other organisms for their energy.
