What forms the basis of classification of tissues present in plants and animals?
Dear student,
Plant Tissues When you see plants and animals, there is quite a bit of difference that is clearly visible. And therefore the internal cell structure of both these organisms also differs. In plants, the tissues that are present have to give structural support to the plant, as plants are stationary.
The pattern of growth that is seen in plants is also limited to certain areas. There are some tissues in plants that divide throughout their life. These are generally restricted to certain regions. According to this classification, there are two types of plant tissues. They are :
- Meristematic tissue
- Permanent tissue
Animal Tissues Animals move from one place to the other in search of food, shelter etc. Therefore the body shows many movements. In order for the body to perform these activities, the cells and tissues perform definite functions. You can observe that the growth in animals is generally uniform.
Apart from this, in animals, the tissue level organization is very complex, with many organs and organ systems. Each system has specialized tissues performing specialized functions in a synchronized manner. Animal tissues are broadly classified as:
- Epithelial tissues
- Muscular tissues
- Connective Tissues
- Nervous Tissues
