CELL DIVISION	increase the cell number through mitosis

GROWTH FOR HUMAN

GROWTH FOR ANIMAL

 In animal, enlargement is quite limited as they only have plasma membrane and no cell wall.

When cell reaches a particular size, it will either divide or undergo defferentiation. Cell division occur in  somatic cell.

GROWTH FOR PLANT

In plant, cell division occur in meristemic tissue at root tip and shoot apex. Enlargement caused by osmotic uptake of water. So, it resulting in increased turgidity or expansion or dilation of elastic wall. In the initial stage, enlargement occurs in all direction .Thus, enlargement confined a specific derection

 

DEFINITION

GROWTH

An increasing  in size, amount , or volume, usually as a result of an increase in number of cell. Growth of an organism may stop at maturity, as in the case of  humans and other mammals, or it may continue throughout life, as in many plants.
