Question

How do leaves of plants help in excretion?

Answer 1

Excretion:

1. The removal of waste products from the body of plants, animals, or creatures is known as excretion.
2. It is a necessary part of existence.
3. As respiratory products, plants create carbon dioxide and water.

Excretion process in plants:

1. The carbon dioxide produced by green plants during photosynthesis.
2. Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a by-product, released through stomata, root cell walls, and other pathways.
3. Water can be removed from it with the help of transpiration plants.
4. A leaf's metabolic levels are high during the pre-abscission phase.
5. Plants also excrete waste into the soil and environment.
6. Waste materials are stored in the vacuoles of mesophyll and epidermal cells in many plants.
7. When old leaves fall, plant waste is expelled along with the leaves.
