Introduction - A tissue is a group of cells having a common origin, similar structure and performing a common function. Tissues are characteristic of advanced multicellular animals, commonly called as eumetazoans. They are true multicellular animals..

>Plastids are spherical or oval cell organelles found only in plant cells. Plastids are of two types: leukoplasts without any colouring pigments and chromoplasts containing colouring pigments. The most familiar chromoplasts are the chloroplasts containing chlorophyll. Lysosomes ..

Animals are different from plants because of their ability of locomotion. This ability probably developed as they have to search for food, unlike the plants that are autotrophic. Since they move from place to place, the animals have to continuously encounter changes in their env..
