Question

Compare and contrast animal hormones and plant hormones​

Answer 1

Answer:

Differences:

Plant hormones are simple organic substances and animal hormones are complex organic substances.

• Plant hormones are transported through xylem, phloem or by diffusion and animal hormones are transported in the blood.

• There are no specific organs involved in the synthesis of the plant hormones, whereas animal hormones are always synthesized in endocrine glands.

Similarities:

plant and animal hormones act in vanishingly low concentrations

- they are abundant in any plant or animal

- they play role in growth and development

- they trigger particular reactions or pathways interacting with hormone-specific receptors (they activate gene expression or other reaction by means of complex signal trasduction).
