There is more than just conscience and not. A carrot has a limited conscience, it distinguishes up where light is found from down where water is found. Some sources indicate it can communicate with other carrots, some simple message similar to "Help I'm being munched on by a caterpillar".

A bat has more conscience. In particular it is conscience of other bats and how they might behave, and predators and how they may behave, and prey and how they might behave.

The difference in humans is the degree of self-conscience, that is to say the mechanism which other lifeforms use to anticipate the behavior of other lifeforms around them has formed a feedback loop in humans (and perhaps a few other animals) and can not only recognize behaviors in perceived external lifeforms, but also the lifeform which is itself.
