- Differences between plant and animal growth include the following:
- Animals tend to only grow to a certain size, but plants can carry on growing.
- Plant cell division only happens in areas called meristems found at the tips of roots and shoots.
- The main way that plants gain height is by cells enlarging rather than dividing.
- Many plant cells keep the ability to differentiate, but most animals lose this ability at an early stage.
