Plant tissue | Animal tissue |
1. A cell wall exists in plant tissues. | 1. Cell barriers like these do not exist in animal tissues. |
2. Contains both living and non-living cells, hence, energy need is lower. | 2. Energy need is higher since only living cells are present. |
3. Permanent tissues and meristematic tissues are the two types of tissues found in plants. | 3. Muscle tissue, epithelial tissue, connective tissue, and nerve tissue are the four types of animal tissues. |
4. Tissue organization is easier in plants. | 4. Animal tissue organization is highly complicated. |
5. Meristematic tissues are needed to help plants grow. This tissue aids in the growth of a plant. | 5. Animals lack such growth tissues. |
6. Plant tissue offers structural support. | 6. Animal tissue assists in mobility. |
