Well, this is for Animals.
All animals fall under these 9 phyla: Porifera (Sponges), Cnidaria (Jellyfish & Coral, Platyhelminthes (Flatworms), Nematoda (Roundworms), Annelida (Segmented Worms), Arthropoda (insects, spiders, & crusteceans), Molluska (clams, oysters, octopi), Echinoderms (Sea Cucumbers, sand dollars), Chordata (all vertebrates)
Basic Characteristics:
First off, all animals are Eukaryotes, meaning they all have a nucleus.
All animals are heterotrophs, they eat other organisms for their food.
With that eating of other organisms, all animals digest, whether it be simple cell digestion, or a full digestive tract.
All animals, with the exception of sponges, are multicellular. They have several cells, and most even have tissues, like a digestive tract (swank, I know).
Most, not all but most, animals go through sexual reproduction. Whether it be internal or external, they go through sexual fertilization.
Most animals are diploids, meaning they have 2 copies of their DNA in each of their cells.
And unlike plants, animals don't have a cell wall, they only have a plasma membrane protecting their cells.
