Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Much of the carbon dioxide produced by green plants is not excreted as a metabolic waste because it
A
can be used for photosynthesis
B
is too large to pass through cell membranes
C
is needed for cellular respiration
D
can be used for the creation of proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Organisms like animals have an advanced and specialized system for excretion. But plants lack a well-developed excretory system like that in animals. They do not have special organs for excretion. Thus, excretion in plants is not so complex.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants take up the water that they need from the soil through their roots. Carbon dioxide is a gas found in the air; plants can take in this gas through tiny holes in their leaves. Once they have water and carbon dioxide, they can use energy from sunlight to make their food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants need to excrete excess carbon dioxides and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of aerobic respiration in plant cells. Oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -In plants, waste products are removed by diffusion. Plants, excrete oxygen, a product of photosynthesis. Plants get rid of water by transpiration. Waste products may be stored in vacuoles or may be stored in leaves which fall off.
