Tissue is a group of cells similar in structure and/or work together to perform a particular function. All cells of a tissue have common origin.
Plant Tissues and Animal Tissues:
Tissues in plants and animals vary in their structure, function, and origin.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PLANT TISSUE AND ANIMAL TISSUE
Plant tissues | Animal tissues |
In plants, dead supportive tissues are more abundant as compared to living tissues. | In multicellular animals living tissues are more common as compared to dead tissues. |
Plant tissues require less maintenance energy. | Animal tissues require more maintenance energy. |
In plant tissue, differentiation of meristematic and permanent tissues exists. | Such a differentiation is absent in animal tissues. |
Meristematic tissues of plants lead to the growth of plants throughout their life. | Animals do not show growth after reaching maturity. Reparative growth is, however, present. |
Plant tissue has simple organization. | Organization of animal tissues is complex with the development of more specialised and localized organs and organ system. |
Tissues organization is meant for stationary habit of plants. | Tissue organisation is targeted towards high mobility of animals. |
