2.67a Excretion in plants



recall the origin of carbon dioxide and oxygen as waste products of metabolism and their loss from the stomata of the leaf.

1. Photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O => C6H12O6 + oxygen
2. Aerobic Respiration in plants: C6H12O6 =enz.=> ATP + CO2 + H2O

carbon dioxide and oxygen are both waste products of plants depending on whether it is from photosynthesis or respiration.
