<span>In a desert, water is in scarce supply, so excreting water would be a bad thing and might cause the death of any animal that does so due to dehydration. There can be several different mechanisms to overcome this. One would be to have the bladder discharge urine into the large intestine where the water can then be reabsorbed into the body while the urea in the urine is passed out along with other solid wastes produced by digestion. Some other methods of conserving water would be for the kidneys to extract more water from the urine leaving the urine fairly concentrated. Also animals may behave in manners that conserve water such as staying in the shade during the day and only being active at night.</span>

Answer:

One difference between these cells is plant cell has chloroplast but animal cell does not have chloroplast.

Another difference between these is that plant cell has cell wall but animal cell does not have cell wall.

Explanation:

Plant cell are known to cells that possess chloroplast. These chloroplast contain chlorophyll which enables the plants to manufacture their own food. Animal cell does not possess chloroplast which makes it impossible for animals to manufacture their own food.

Plant cell actually have cell wall and a cell membrane but animal cell does not have cell wall but only possesses cell membrane. The cell wall gives mechanical strength and maintains cell shape.
