About Lesson

Explain why plants lack elaborate excretory organs like those found in animals

  • Plants wastes accumulate slowly due to low metabolic rate;
  • Plants produce less toxic wastes;
  • Some excretory products are recycled/re-used by plants in other processes e.g. CO2 in photosynthesis while O2 in respiration. 
  • Plant tissues are tolerant to toxic wastes;
  • Plant wastes are stored in temporary structures which fall off – deposition e.g. leaves
