Which statement correctly compares information conduction in plants and animals?
Plants lack specialized tissue
In animals, information is carried by a specialised nervous tissue made of neurons that generate and conduct electrical impulses rapidly across the body.
Plants do not possess neurons or any dedicated conducting tissue for information; instead they respond to stimuli through chemical signals such as plant hormones and slow electrical changes in ordinary parenchyma cells.
So both do not use the same tissue, animals do conduct information, and plants do not use nerves.
Hence, the correct comparison is that plants lack specialised conducting tissue for information transfer.
