Question

Which of the following part is not used by plant to get rid of waste?
(a) phloem
(b) Xylem
(c) stomata
(d) leaves

Answer 1

Answer:

This is usually observed in old xylem tissues. Some of these wastes are stored in the leaves which later droop and wither away. Carbon dioxide or gaseous wastes are eliminated through stomata.

Answer 2

Phloem is not used by plant to get rid of waste.

• Correct Answer: a) Phloem is one of the complex tissues of the plants which is responsible for the transportation of organic compounds that are soluble in nature inside the vascular plants.
• Incorrect Answer: b) Old Xylem are the tissues that are responsible for the secretion of solid products like gums and resins.
• Incorrect Answer: c) Gaseous waste products such as carbon dioxide are excreted out by the stomata.
• Incorrect Answer: d) Leaves have stomata that are responsible for eliminating the carbon dioxide.
• Hence, Phloem is not used to eliminate any waste products of the plants.
