Which method can plants use to remove their wastes?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Shedding old leaves and bark
The governing concept is plant excretion. Plants do not possess animal-like kidneys or lungs, so they use several alternative methods. Some wastes are stored in vacuoles, deposited in leaves or bark, or released as leaves and bark are shed. Gases may also diffuse out through stomata. Thus option A is correct, while B, C and D refer to animal organs or an impossible process.
