What are three differences between animal development and plant development?

Plants and animals are living creatures that help in the formation of a stable ecosystem. The cells of the plant contain a cell wall, a feature that is absent in animal cells. Plants cells can perform photosynthesis, while animal cells cannot perform this function due to lack of pigment chlorophyll.

Cell differentiation in the animal cell takes place in the early stage, while plant cells can differentiate throughout life. The factors such as light and plant hormones (auxin and gibberellin) affect the growth of plants.

The factors such as the availability of nutrients affect the growth and development of animal cells. Growth in plants is immediate, while animal cells show growth later in their life.

The hormone that is auxin helps in the growth and development of plants. This hormone is found in the tip of roots and shoots and help in the elongation of the plants.

In animals, a hormone named growth hormone helps in the growth of the animal cells. It is secreted by the pituitary gland (one of the endocrine glands) of the body. Thus, auxin helps in growth in animals, and growth hormone helps in their growth.
