What makes an animal intelligent? – Its brain.
How does the brain work? – It forms a complex network of neurones that fire as with a computer.
How do the nerve cells fire? – They have electrochemical charges on their membranes. They change electric potential by moving charged ions.
Do plants think? – We don’t know. We know they are conscious of their environment and respond to it.
How would a plant think? It doesn’t have a brain or nervous system does it? – All plant cells have the same electro-potential as brain cells. Maybe the whole plant operates as a brain?
I would like to think so!
Me too. In fact I think they do. I wonder what sort of consciousness they have?
Interesting thought ! Perhaps the flaw lies in our definition of what constitutes intelligence.
In my experience there are many types. Some of my students were not academically smart but were very sharp when it came to other things.
Indeed. There is a theory that people with schizophrenia are bordering on genius, even if they are between worlds in their heads.
The brain is an amazing organ – and very delicate. It has immense possibility.
They’re probably BOTH more intelligent than some humans I know!!! 😀
Make that most humans!

I suspect they do.
Yeah I think that plants can think!
So do I.
