Question
Why do plants and animals possess different types of tissues?

Answer

Plants are autotrophic organisms, so prepare their own food by photosynthesis. Moreover plants are stationary or fixed organisms; they do not have to move from place to place in the search of their food. Since they do not consume or need much energy, so most of the plant tissues are supportive, which provide them with structural strength. Animals are heterotrophic organisms. They have to move in search of food, mate and find shelter, so they need more energy as compared to plants. Most of the tissues they contain are living.

The scientists now say that there are actually five states of matter $A, B, C, D$ and $E.$ The state $A$ has a fixed volume but no fixed shape. The state $B$ can be compressed very easily by applying pressure and state $C$ has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. The state $D$ is mixture of free electrons and ions whereas state $E$ is named after an Indian scientist and a famous physicist.
