Answer AND Explanation:

Excretion is the removal of substance from the body. Excretion occurs in both plants and animals because some of the waste metabolic products are highly toxic and may cause death if retained in the body. Excretion can occur through contractile vacuoles, transpiration, guttation, skin and kidneys. The excretory systems also help in maintaining constant condition in the internal environment; homeostasis.
