Flashcards

Plant Excretion

Plants get rid of waste products in ways different from animals, often through parts of their structures (like leaves or old xylem), releasing them into the soil or storing them in vacuoles.

Photosynthesis Waste

Plants produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which they then release to the atmosphere.

Transpiration

Plants eliminate excess water through the process of transpiration.

Waste Storage in Plants

Plants store many waste products in cellular vacuoles, old xylem (tree parts), or even in leaves that fall off during the growing process.
