Their body plan eventually becomes fixed as they develop, although some undergo a process of metamorphosis later on in their life. Most animals are motile, meaning they can move spontaneously and independently. All animals are also heterotrophs, meaning they must ingest other organisms for sustenance. Most known animal phyla appeared in the fossil record as marine species during the Cambrian explosion, about 542 million years ago. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What animal is related to most other species today? Q. Alright lets think of it like this. Some people keep track of their family trees right? Well which animal is the farthest left on the animal familiy tree? So which animal is still left alive and related to most animals in some way?

Answered by Jennie Clause - Thu Jul 15 21:38:39 2010 How is plant life related to animal life? And Did animal life evolve from plant life? Q. Also I'd like to know things like, Which came first, plant or animal life? (or did they come about at the same rate?) Are organisms like bacteria more closely related to plant or animal life? How did plant life begin? Intuitively, we sense there is something different about plant life from animal life - but what exactly is that difference? There are plants that can move quickly, like a Venus Flytrap, and animals that act more the way we think plants would act, like a sea anemone. Thanks for your answers! Asked by Heron By The Sea - Sat Apr 12 16:02:33 2008 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. Animal life did not evolve from plant life. Both plant life and animal life evolved on parallel paths from common ancestors. That is why you see the overlap in structures that you mentioned. At one time there were only single celled life forms. At that point it would have been difficult to call them either plants or animals. From there several different lines evolved specializing in different ways which eventualy lead to all the plants and animals we know today. Some biologists have even said there are not clear distinctions between plants and animals, but that plants are really nothing but very slow moving animals. Answered by polybisep - Sun Apr 13 03:26:09 2008 What is the difference between an animal welfare inspector and investigator?
Q. I plan on working in the animal welfare career. I've looked over the different courses and I know I want to be either an animal welfare inspector or investigator. ( as in working for the SPCA and informing people about animal welfare, investigating complaints, gathering evidence and rescuing animals ) I can't find any helpful information on the differences of the two or which is the one that I'm aiming to be! So could someone please tell me what the exact title of that job is and what the difference between the inspector and investigator is? I also realise it may be different in other countries but any info would be helpful :) Asked by xx - Thu Jul 8 22:24:21 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Based simply on the words themselves, it seems that an inspector would be someone who goes from place to place looking for animal welfare violations. When a violation is suspected, it would be the investigator's job to look into the alleged violation and find out what is happening.
