1. Plant vs animals tissues
Difference in requirements of plants and animals
1) Movement:
- Plants are stationary or fixed – they don’t move. Since they have to be upright, they have a large quantity of supportive
tissue. The supportive tissue generally has dead cells.
- Animals on the other hand move around in search of food, mates and shelter. They consume more energy as
compared to plants. Most of the tissues they contain are living.
2) Pattern of Growth:
- The growth in plants is limited to certain regions, while this is not so in animals. There are some tissues in plants that
divide throughout their life. These tissues are localised in certain regions. Based on the dividing capacity of the tissues,
various plant tissues can be classified as growing or meristematic tissue and permanent tissue.
- Cell growth in animals is more uniform. So, there is no such demarcation of dividing and nondividing regions in animals.
3) The structural organisation of organs and organ systems:
is far more specialised and localised in complex animals than even in very complex plants. This results in:
- the different modes of life pursued by these two major groups of organisms, particularly in their different feeding
methods.
- differently adapted for a sedentary existence on one hand (plants) and
active locomotion on the other (animals),
5. Plant tissue
The growth of plants occurs only in certain specific regions which
contain dividing tissue, also known as meristematic tissue.
Depending on the region where they are present, meristematic tissues
are classified as
• apical,
• lateral and
• intercalary.
New cells produced by meristem are initially like those of meristem
itself, but as they grow and mature, slowly change and become
differentiated as components of other tissues.
