2.67 Excretion in plants and Humans













  • Plants-
    • Excretion-
      • Uses Photosynthesis 
        • Takes light energy, CO2 and water and turns it into Glucose
        • (Light + Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen)
      • Oxygen becomes the waist product from this process 
    • Aerobic Respiration-
      • Glucose + Oxygen -> CO2 + Water + ATP
      • Uses enzyme to convert Glucose and Oxygen to CO2, Water & ATP
      • Water and CO2 Get's excreted 

  • Humans-
    • Lungs-
      • Takes in Oxygen, excretes Carbon Dioxide
    • Kidneys-
      • Excretes Water and Urea (Amino Acids) and Salts
    • Skin-
      • Excretes Sweat (Water and salts) and Urea
