How does the growth in plants differ from that in animals?
- Plants have more specialized and localized structural organization than animals.
- Plant tissues divide throughout their life, while animal tissues are localized in certain regions.
- Plants have no demarcation of dividing and non-dividing regions, unlike animals.

Study Notes
Differences Between Plant and Animal Tissues
- Plant tissues contain cell walls made of cellulose, providing structural support; animal tissues lack cell walls and are more flexible.
- Plants have specialized tissues like xylem and phloem for transport of water and nutrients, which are absent in animals.
Growth in Plants vs. Animals
- Plant growth is indeterminate, allowing them to continue growing throughout their life, while animal growth is generally determinate, ceasing after reaching maturity.
- Meristematic tissues in plants facilitate continuous growth at specific regions, while animals have fixed growth patterns influenced by genetic factors.
Energy Consumption in Plants and Animals
- Plants are autotrophic, producing their own energy through photosynthesis, utilizing sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
- Animals are heterotrophic, consuming organic matter for energy, relying on the food chain for nutrition.
Modes of Life in Plants vs. Animals
- Plants are primarily stationary, adapting to sunlight and soil conditions, while animals exhibit diverse movement, adapting to various environments in search of food and shelter.
- Plants typically have longer lifespans and form complex ecosystems, while animals may have shorter lifespans with diverse reproductive strategies.
Plant Meristematic Tissue vs. Animal Cell Growth
- Meristematic tissue in plants consists of undifferentiated cells capable of division and growth, contributing to both primary and secondary growth.
- Animal cell growth is characterized by differentiation after specific growth phases, leading to specialized cells that perform distinct functions in tissues and organs.
