Solution
| Excretory system in humans | Excretory system in plants |
| Humans have a well-developed excretory system for the elimination of nitrogenous wastes. | Plants do not have a well-developed excretory system for the elimination of nitrogenous wastes. |
| The human excretory system comprises the kidneys, blood vessels that join them, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. | Plants use different strategies for excretion. |
