Question

The stored waste product in plants can be in the form of

• A. Latex
• B. Resins
• C. Gums
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The plants secrete many materials as the by-products of reactions and metabolic processes.

Sometimes these are stored in old and ageing tissues like xylem, eg. Resins and gums.

Latex is a yellowish, brown coloured liquid which is an emulsion and used in wound healing. It is secreted from the plants.

So, the correct option is 'All of the above'
