Plant Excretion Strategies

Plants store some waste products within specialized cellular compartments called vacuoles.

The process where plants release excess water vapor into the atmosphere.

Plants eliminate waste products through various methods, like transpiration, shedding leaves, storing waste in vacuoles, and releasing substances into the soil.

Plants can get rid of waste products by shedding their leaves.

Some plant waste is stored as resins and gums, especially in old xylem, the transport tissue.

Plants can release some waste materials into the surrounding soil.

Oxygen, a by-product of photosynthesis, can be considered a plant excretion.
