12 Questions
What is a noticeable difference between plants and animals?
Plants have dead cells in their supportive tissue, while animals have living cells.
Why do plants have a large quantity of supportive tissue?
To provide structural support since they are stationary.
How is cell growth different between plants and animals?
Plants have dividing and non-dividing regions, while animals do not.
Why are organs and organ systems more specialised in complex animals compared to complex plants?
Due to the different feeding methods of plants and animals.
What characterizes the growth pattern in plants?
Limited growth regions as opposed to continuous growth in animals.
Why do plants generally contain more dead cells in their tissues compared to animals?
Because they are stationary and require more structural support.
Why are plants differently adapted for a stationary existence and animals for locomotion?
Because plants have roots for anchorage and water absorption.
What is the role of meristematic tissue in plant growth?
To actively divide and generate new cells for growth.
Why do meristematic tissues play a crucial role in the growth of plants?
Because they continuously generate new cells for growth.
What happens if the tips of roots are removed in a plant?
The growth of the roots will slow down or stop temporarily.
Which regions of a plant house the meristematic tissues?
Root tips and stem tips only.
How are lateral and intercalary meristems classified?
Based on their location within the plant.
