Respuesta :

Many of a plant's hormones are secreted into intercellular fluid, while many of an animal's hormones are secreted into the blood.

Hormones are those substances which gives an organism  the ability to respond to both internal and external stimuli which are necessary for their growth and maintenance.

Plant hormones are also known as plant growth substances which are produced in small amounts within the plant body (intercellular fluid).

They control growth and growth movements by accelerating or inhibiting cell division, elongation and differentiation.

Examples of plant hormones include auxins (produced at the apices of shoots) and gibberellins.

The animal hormones are secreted by endocrine glands directly into the blood stream. There are then transported to where ever they are needed.

Examples of animal hormones include:

  • Prolactin
  • Oxytocin
  • Anti-diuretic hormone.
