Question
Differentiate between Plant growth and Animal growth.
Answer
| Plant Growth | Animal Growth |
|---|---|
| Mostly limited to regions of cell division and differentiation at the meristems. | Can occur throughout the body, with cells dividing, differentiating, and growing in various tissues and organs. |
| Growth is continuous and may occur throughout the life of the plant. | Growth is typically rapid in early life, slows down in maturity, and eventually ceases at the end of the animal’s lifespan. |
| Regeneration of lost parts is common in many plants. | Regenerative growth is more limited in animals, but some species can regenerate certain tissues and organs. |
