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. |
| Excretion is in the form of urine produced to filter out the waste products, like urea and uric acid, from the blood. | Excretion is by means of tannins, gums, essential oils, etc stored in special cells. |
