• Similarities between blood circulatory system in human and transport system in plant

  • Both is transport system
  • Both transport water, nutrients and dissolve substances
  • Both occurs in complex organism
• Difference between blood circulatory system in human and transport system in plant

  1. Structure
  2. Human blood circulatory system
  3. Tube system with heart and valves
  4. Plant transport system
  5. Vascular system without pump or valve
  6. Type of transport vessels
  7. Human blood circulatory system
  8. Three types of vessels: vein, artery and capillary
  9. Plant transport system
  10. Two types of vessels: xylem and phloem
• Difference between blood circulatory system in human and transport system in plant

  1. Connection between transport vessels
  2. Human blood circulatory system
  3. Arteries, capillaries and veins are connected to form one continuous vessel
  4. Plant transport system
  5. Xylem and phloem are not connected and are two separate vessels
