Tannins:: Tannins are carbon compounds. These are stored in different |
parts of the plant and are deep brown in colour. Tannins are used in tanning |
of leather and in medicines e.g. Cassia, Acacia. |

Resin:: Occur mostly in Gymnosperms in specialized passages called resin |
passages. These are used in varnishes- e.g.Pinus. |

Gums:: Plants like Neem, Acacia oozes out a sticky substance called gum |

when branches are cut. The gum swells by absorbing water and helps in the |
healing of damaged parts of a plant. Gums are economically valuable and |
used as adhesives and binding agents, in the preparation of the medicines, |
food, etc. |

Latex:: Latex is a sticky, milky white substance secreted by plants. Latex |
is stored in latex cells or latex vessels. From the latex of Hevea |
braziliensis (Rubber plant) rubber is prepared. Latex from Jatropa is the |
source of bio-diesel. Do you know which part of jatropa used in production |
of bio diesel. |

Do you know? |
Chewing gum is a type of sticky for chewing made dates back 5000 years. Modern |
chewing gum originally made of natural latex from plants like chicle, sapota etc. |
Whenever pollen grains enter in our body they cause allergy due to the presence of |
nitrogenous substances. These allergens cause skin allergy and asthma. Ex: Parthenium. |

Do you think there is any relation between reduction in yielding |
and root secretions? |
Why do we get peculiar smell when you shift the potted plants? |

Excretion Vs Secretion |
Excretion and secretion are the same in nature. Since both are involved |
in passage or movement of materials. Both processes move and eliminate |
unwanted components from the body. Excretion is the removal of materials |
from a living being, while secretion is movement of material from one |
LA |
point to other point. So secretion is active while excretion is passive in |
nature. Humans excrete materials such as tears, urine, Carbon dioxide, |
and sweat while secretion on other hand, includes enzymes, hormones, |
and saliva. In plants too we find excretion through roots into its surroundings |
and falling off leaves and bark. Secretions occur in the plant body in form |
