Per NCERT, how do PLANTS get rid of OTHER metabolic waste products (besides O₂ and water)?
ABy exhaling
BPlants don't make waste
CVia blood vessels
DStoring them in cellular vacuoles, in resins and gums (especially in old xylem), in leaves that fall off, or by excretion into the soil around them
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Storing them in cellular vacuoles, in resins and gums (especially in old xylem), in leaves that fall off, or by excretion into the soil around them
Per NCERT §5.5.2, plant excretion uses vacuoles + resins/gums + falling leaves + soil. The other options misstate.
