What characteristic allowed scientists to definitively classify the sea anemone as an animal rather than a plant?

The sequence of the sea anemone have genes that code for proteins and their regulation is similar to that of fruit flies and several other animal models. Sea anemones are stationary but also move either by slow sliding motions or by attaching on another animal and hitching a ride. Sea anemones also catch prey using their tentacles and direct the prey to their mouth.

the transfer of energy between two molecules spaced just nanometers apart plays a key role in many technologies, including photovoltaics, quantum information systems, lighting, and sensors, as well as in biophysics to measure nanometer distances and in photosynthesis. but an open question in this area is what effect, if any, the surrounding photonic environment has on this nanoscale energy transfer. by designing and performing a carefully controlled experiment to answer this question, scientists have settled the debate and found clues to improving the efficiency of many of the technologies that rely on this process.
