Plants Living things, without a brain?

We know all living things have brains.

A living Object Thinks and that makes him living.

Even single cellular animals have brains.

Even Chockroaches, ants and spiders have brain.

What about Plants. Do plant have a brain?

Do plant Think and have any feeling when we cut them?

There are some plants which eat animals do they have brains? Do they
have feeling.

Does the grass have a brain in it? As we know plants change their
direction depending on from where sunlight is comming. So do they have
brain which tells them how to grow and when to give out leafs and when
to grow flowers. And when to grow fruits?

But biggest question is where do the brain rest in a plant?

How can a Living thing do not have a brain?

Bye

If a brain is a group of fibers and bundles, so is a plant. It is
stretch to believe that fibers in plants, although they do conduct
electriciy, can emulate the patterns of activity in a brain, but there
might be something going on that is a rationally explained as the
activities in particular regions of the brain. Plus the evidence for
plant consciousness is shakee also, so it is a wait and see thing but
not totally implausable. Actually this issue is likely to arouse
dogmatic prejudaces and stereotypes, which can be nasty.

Wrong.

"Brains" are a specialized organ peculiar to some members of the
phylum Chordata. Not all chordates have brains. All non-chordates
lack brains.

For a list of phyla (of which Chordata is only one) see

'why does a horse not have pistons moving inside his belly?' Re: Plants Living things, without a brain?

It's called Life Energy Particles, dear.

Even the most stupid person thinks NOT with his brain, but with Life
Energy ...also those who claim otherwise, nevertheless do.

That's why they (you) keep thinking after they die.

'

Your plants, and any living body - is ENTIRELY determined by Life
Energy, without it, it would be totally dead, just fibers and such.

Nobody ever told you that, sweety-pie?

You don't study or read, then why ask questions...

Thus your question is a bit very insane, you see, like asking, 'why
does a horse not have moving pistons inside his belly?'

Sorry, "brain" is a term used for the enlarged portion of the central
nervous system found in the head (or anterior part of the body for
animals without a traditional head). All bilateral animals have a
form of brain.

Still, you are right in that it is a structure confined to some but
not all animals.
