Are Plants and Animals Made
of Same Types of Tissues?
Answers
Answer:
No, plants and animals are made up of different kinds of tissues. Tissues are a set of cells which performs a common function. Plants and animals are different from each other and their body operates in different ways which is why both are composed of different types of tissues so that they perform their own functions.
Q - Are Plants And Animal Made of same types of tissues?
Answer ➔ Let us Compare their structure and functions.
Do plants and animals have the same structure?
Do they both perform similar functions?
➪ There are noticeable differences between the two Plants are 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.
Another difference between animals and
plants is in the 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 non-
dividing regions in animals.
The structural organisation of organs and
organ systems is far more specialised and
localised in complex animals than even in very
complex plants. This fundamental difference
reflects the different modes of life pursued by
these two major groups of organisms,
particularly in their different feeding methods.
Also, they are differently adapted for a
sedentary existence on one hand (plants) and
active locomotion on the other (animals),
contributing to this difference in organ system
design.
It is with reference to these complex animal
and plant bodies that we will now talk about
the concept of tissues in some detail.
