Plantae
The members of this kingdom are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that (usually) conduct photosynthesis.
Animalia
The members of this kingom are complex, multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that digest food outside their cells and then absorb the digested nutrients. Animals must consume other organisms to obtain most of their nutrients.
