What type of tissue in plants continues to divide throughout their life?
What type of tissue in plants continues to divide throughout their life?
- Meristematic tissue (correct)
- Supportive tissue
- Permanent tissue
- Vascular tissue
In what way do animals differ from plants regarding movement?
In what way do animals differ from plants regarding movement?
- Animals are stationary.
- Animals move to seek food and shelter. (correct)
- Animals have supportive tissues similar to plants.
- Animals cannot seek food.
Why do plants require more supportive tissue compared to animals?
Why do plants require more supportive tissue compared to animals?
- Because supportive tissue in animals is primarily made up of dead cells.
- Because plants are metabolically more active.
- Because plants grow uniformly without regions of division.
- Because plants are stationary and need to remain upright. (correct)

Flashcards
Plant vs. Animal Differences
Plant vs. Animal Differences
Plants are stationary, have more supportive tissue (usually dead cells) for upright growth; animals move for food, mates, and shelter, needing more energy and living tissues.
Plant Growth
Plant Growth
Limited to specific growth regions (meristematic tissue) where cells actively divide throughout plant life. The rest of the tissue is permanent.
Animal Growth
Animal Growth
Growth is generally uniform across the body; no distinct dividing or non-dividing regions.

Study Notes
Plant vs. Animal Differences
- Movement: Plants are stationary, while animals move. This difference impacts their structures and needs.
- Support System: Plants have more supportive tissue, typically composed of dead cells, to maintain their upright positions.
- Energy Requirements: Animals need more energy than plants due to their movement for food, mates, and shelter. Animal tissues are mostly living.
- Growth: Plant growth is limited to specific regions (meristematic tissue). Animals have more uniform growth everywhere.
- Tissues: Plants have meristematic (dividing) and permanent tissues. Animals do not have distinct dividing and non-dividing regions.
- Organ and Organ System Complexity: Animal organ systems are more specialized and localized compared to plants, reflecting their diverse lifestyles, feeding habits, and locomotion abilities.
- Sedentary vs. Active Lifestyles: Plants are sedentary, while animals are active. This difference in lifestyle is directly reflected in the design of their respective organ systems.
