Tissue is a group or collection of similar or dissimilar cells that perform or help to perform a common function and have a common origin.
S. No. | Plant tissues | Animal tissues |
1. |
Most of the plants remain fixed
at one place (sedentary) and need less energy. Therefore the tissues are thick – walled and dead to provide mechanical support. E.g., Sclerenchyma. |
Animals show active locomotion and
hence need more energy. Therefore the tissues are made up of living cells. E.g.-Nervous tissue. |
2. |
Growth in plants is indefinite. Certain
tissues (meristematic) in root and shoot apex divide throughout life and add new cells. These cells differentiate and stop dividing to form permanent tissues. |
Growth in animals is definite.
In other words, they do not posses dividing and non-dividing tissues. The animal organs grow more or less uniform. |
3. | Plant tissues are not much complicated. | Animal tissues are much more complicated. |
