What types of plant tissues exists?

Where in the plant you can find the different types of tissues?

What are the differences between animal tissue and plant tissue?

  1. Plant tissues exist throughout the plant; they are what makes up the plant and its separate components, in animals the tissues make up the layers, organs, skin and structural components.  Plant tissues differ from animal ones in that they use cellulous for the main construction support instead of bone.  Plants tend to circulate water rather than blood and most animals use a heart to pump the blood while plants use osmosis.  Both animals and plants use ATP to power themselves.  Organ tissues clearly vary between plants and animals, but some plants and animals have female and sexual parts, although they are widely different; they still serve the same function.  

    According to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_anato...

    "Plant anatomy or phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants. While originally it included plant morphology, which is the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, since the mid Twentieth Century the investigation of plant anatomy is considered a separate, distinct field, and refers to just the internal plant structures. Plant anatomy is now frequently investigated at the cellular level, and often involves the sectioning of tissues and microscopy....

    Plant anatomy is sometimes divided into the following categories:

    - Flower anatomy

    Calyx:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepal

    Corolla:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corolla_%28...

    Androecium:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androecium

    Gynoecium:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynoecium

    - Leaf anatomy

    - Stem anatomy

    - Fruit/Seed anatomy

    Ovule:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovule

      Seed structure:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed#Seed_s...

    Pericarp:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericarp

    - Wood anatomy

    Bark:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bark

    Cork:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_%28tis...

    Phloem:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phloem

    - Root anatomy

    Each of these would be the location of the tissues (denoted with a dash) and a subcategory of the general types of tissues.  For an in depth explanation you will have to check each type of tissue.

    Plant Morphology is the study of plant antinomy

    According to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_morph...

    "A comparative science

    A plant morphologist makes comparisons between structures in many different plants of the same or different species. Making such comparisons between similar structures in different plants tackles the question of why the structures are similar. It is quite likely that similar underlying causes of genetics, physiology, or response to the environment have led to this similarity in appearance. The result of scientific investigation into these causes can lead to one of two insights into the underlying biology:

    1.  Homology - the structure is similar between the two species because of shared ancestry and common genetics.

    2.  Convergence - the structure is similar between the two species because of independent adaptation to common environmental pressures.

    Understanding which characteristics and structures belong to each type is an important part of understanding plant evolution. The evolutionary biologist relies on the plant morphologist to interpret structures, and in turn provides phylogenies of plant relationships that may lead to new morphological insights."

    The similarities between plants and animals are what make plant based herbal remedies and medicines work.  It would take more space than Yahoo Answers allows for me to list all differences and similarities between plants and animals so I am going to end it here.
