Under normal circumstances, carbon dioxide is excreted from the the body by lungs.

Human beings have a pair of lungs that are spongy in nature and located on the sides of the chest. They are surrounded by pleura which is a layer of thin tissue. The cells in the body require oxygen. The primary function of the lungs is to transport oxygen from the air we breathe to the cells of the body and excrete carbon dioxide received in exchange for oxygen from the cells. Alveoli are present within the lung parenchyma where the exchange of gases takes place with the blood capillaries. Carbon dioxide is then exhaled from the lungs.

The lungs also serve as a means for the absorption and excretion of water and other pharmacological agents and also protect the body from unfavorable substances.

Which cells are responsible for the movement of photosynthates through a plant?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

sieve-tube elements, companion cells

Explanation:

Sieve-tube elements and companion cells are responsible for the movement of photosynthes through a plant.

The sieve tube elements are shorter (almost organelle-free) living cells, placed end to end, forming the sieve tubes. Their transverse cell walls are called sieve plaques that make connections between cells and through openings called sieves establish the connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.  Each sieve is coated with calose (glucose polymer), which in winter can completely clog the vessel and then dissolve in spring. When infections occur or the vessel is parasitized, it can also be clogged with callose.

Companion cells are specialized parenchymal cells, which contain all the components that exist in living cells, including the nucleus, are the cells most closely linked to the sieved tube element. The Screened Tube Element and its companion cells are related in development, are derived from the same mother cell, and have several cytoplasmic connections to each other. Due to the many connections, the potential function of the companion cells is to release substances into the sieved tube element and, when the nucleus is absent, to include information molecules, proteins and ATP. When a screened element dies, its companion cells also die, which is a demonstration of this interdependence.
