Question
What are the methods used by plants to get rid of excretory products?
Advertisements
Solution 1
Plants can get rid of excess of water by transpiration. Waste materials may be stored in the cell vacuoles or as gum and resin, especially in old xylem. It is also stored in the leaves that later fall off.
Solution 2
- Photosynthetic and respiratory wastes such as oxygen and carbon dioxide are used for respiration and photosynthesis. Any excess is expelled through the stomata.
- Excess water is removed through the process of transpiration.
- Waste products may be stored in leaves, bark, or other parts of the plant, which later fall off, removing the waste from metabolically active areas.
- In some plants, metabolic by-products are stored as crystals.
- Several substances, such as resins, tannins, and alkaloids, such as morphine and quinine, are also plant wastes, although they benefit humans.

The organs A of a person have been damaged completely due to which too much of a poisonous waste material B has started accumulating in his blood, making it dirty. In order to save this person's life, the blood from an artery in the person's arm is made to flow into long tubes made of substance E which are kept in coiled form in a tank containing solution F. This solution contains three materials G, H and I in similar proportions to those in normal blood. As the person's blood passes through long tubes of substance E, most of the wastes present in it go into solution. The clean blood is then put back into a vein in the arm of the person for circulation.
