plants have organs? Genome mapping of organs, not the entire body tomato existed before

[snip] While I am on this percentage, a cool question comes to mind. A question not at all obvious. In animals we have organization of cells into tissue and organ. But do we have the same sort of organizations in plants? Do plants have organs? I suggest you have a look at: Introduction to Plant Physiology William G. Hopkins John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York In the past 5 years I have been exploring the Inverses or Reverses of plants to animals. Example: plants breathe in CO2 and expel O2 whereas animals do the reverse. Plants also require oxygen. Another Example: animals depend on plants for food Apart from the carnivores. and the reverse is true that plants depend on animals for food via fertilizer and decay bodies. ITYM mainly other decaying plants. Another example: plants depend on carbon element for their support structure and animals depend on calcium for their support structure where we can sort of say that carbon is the inverse or reverse of calcium. What about sharks? Or single celled animals and plants? Now I wonder if another one of the inverse or reverse situations exists in plant to animal cell organizations. Whether animals must have cells arrayed into organs but plants do not and whether plants have a cell arrangement that is altogether very different from that of animals and can be considered a inverse or reverse. I think you really need to read a Biology 101 text book. -- George Smiley |
