Key Features of Animals (characteristics)

A

Multicellular , Cells lack a cell wall, Obtain energy by consuming other organisms, most reproduce sexually, motile at some point in their life cycle, able to respond to stimuli (quickest than any other). All animals reproduce sexually but not all undergo asexual.
