Experience working in and around research animals and facilities including knowledge of animal research regulations. - Strategic budget and accounting skills to produce a budget plan and rates; forecast trends; conduct periodic cost analyses of operations; and share per diem costs with clients.
Plants and animals are both "organisms" or "living organisms" if you prefer.
An organism is basically a group of different organs functioning together (hope this was the easiest way to explain it).
Hope it helped,
Happy study/ homework/ exam!
