Question

How do you know that an organism belongs to the animal kingdom

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

The Animalia Kingdom is defined according to its main characteristics, which are common to all animals: eukaryotic (their cells have defined nuclei), multicellular and heterotrophic organisms, which obtain their food by ingesting nutrients from the environment (with the exception of some endoparasites, which are nourished by absorbing nutrients from host fluids).

In addition, living beings in the animal kingdom begin their development from an egg cell or zygote, which arises from the fertilization of the egg by the sperm.

Thus, sexual reproduction is always present in the animals' life cycles. However, this does not mean that asexual reproduction does not happen, it occurs and is very important in some groups.
