how to excretion in plants
Answers
Answer:
Unlike animals, plants do not have specialised excretory organs. Excess carbon dioxide and oxygen are excreted from the plant through the stomata in the leaves
Answer:
Removal of the waste and toxic products from the body is called as excretion. All the living organisms excrete their wastes. Like animals, plants do not have a special organ for excretion. They excrete through their vegetative parts only.
Oxygen is a by-product of photosynthesis, which is excreted from the leaves of plants.
Excess water is excreted as water vapour by the process of transpiration.
Plants store there some of the excretory products in leaves and get rid of that by losing them.
Some of the plants store their excretory product as resins, gums, latex, oils etc in stems, leaves and bark. Eventually, plant shed off their parts and thus excretion occurs.
Plant produces secondary metabolite that are not used by plants but used by animals such as alkaloids.
Alkaloids are the nitrogenous compound stored in different parts of the plant. It is used as a medicine, sedatives and insecticides.
Excretion in aquatic plant takes place through diffusion.
