Question

Animals are associated with _____, and plants are associated with _____.

Answer 1

Animals and plants are associated with both divisions and phyla

As kingdom grows the more species are in the classifying group. 
And since there are only a number of kingdom and thousand species, it would account that species changes more rapidly and exponentially grows than kingdoms.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be phyla; divisions.

In taxonomic classification, the term phylum is used to denote the taxonomic rank present above the class and below the kingdom.  it is mainly used in the zoological classification.

The term division is used as equivalent to the phylum and is used specifically for plants classifications.

For example, Acanthocephala, Annelida, Arthropoda, Chordata, et cetera are some phyla used in animal classification. bryophyte, Charophyta, Chlorophyta et cetera are some divisions used in plant classification.
