Unlike animals, plants do not have any excretory products as they do not eat food. Comment upon the statement with justification.

It is wrong to say that plants do not produce excretory products. Plants excrete wastes differently from animals. Oxygen is released through stomata, excess water by transpiration, and other wastes are stored in dead cells, gums, resins, vacuoles, or removed by shedding old leaves.

  1. It is completely wrong to say that plants do not produce any excretory products. However, plants use completely different strategies for excretion than those of the animals. They get rid of these wastes in different manner (any two):

    i. Oxygen, a photosynthetic waste, is removed through stomata.

    ii. Excess water is removed by transpiration through stomata.

    iii. Other metabolic wastes are either stored in dead cells, resins and gums or are removed through falling of old leaves.

    iv. Many waste products are stored in cellular vacuoles
