Give the differences and similarities betweem coordination in animals and coordination in plants.
Differences between co-ordination in plants and co-ordination in animals
Similarities between Control and co ordination in plants and animals
1 Both plants and animals control and co-ordinate with the help of hormones.
2 Both respond to external stimuli.
Co-ordination in Animals | Co-ordination in Plants |
1 In animals control and co-ordination is done by nervous system and endocrine system. 2 In animals nervous system is well developed and consists of brain, spinal cord and nerves. 3 In animals hormones are secreted by endocrine glands. 4 Animals secrete hormones such as Growth hormone, Adrenaline, Thyroxine, Testosterone, Estrogens. |
1 In plants control and co-ordination is done by chemical substances called plant hormones or phytohormones. 2 Plants do not have nervous system. 3 Plants lack glands that produce and secrete hormones. Instead each plant cell produces hormones. 4 Plants secrete hormones such as Auxin, Gibberlins, Cytokinins, Absicisic acid, Ethylene. |
