Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why nerve-like signals are manifold faster in animals than in plants.
Concept introduction: Both animals and plants send and receive signals and respond to external stimulus. Nerve nets are present in animals. They provide animals an ability to sense objects through the use of sensory neurons within the nerve net. Plant perception is the ability of plants to respond to environment.
