Do plants poop too? Do vegetative people have bowel movements?

Broadly speaking, plants can poop. However, it depends on how we define poop, and according to animal habits, only some plants meet the behavior of pooping. After all, most plants do not have defecation organs and cannot excrete waste products from their bodies like animals.

Nowadays, it is generally believed that the photosynthesis, salt discharge, and drainage of plants are even in poop. Different people have different sayings, which can be regarded as pooping.

1. Plants that meet the defecation action According to the defecation rules of animals, there are really plants that meet the conditions, the most common ones are Venus flytrap and Nepenthes. Venus flytraps can capture prey and use its own digestive juices to divert nutrients from its prey body. And the remaining shells, residues, and the like will become solid waste.

At this point, the flytrap opens a part of its body and expels solid waste from its body. This process is very similar to the human body, and meets the standards of animal defecation. Not to mention the pitcher plant, which is equivalent to a defecation system in itself.

2. The defecation of plantsMost plants are different from Venus flytraps and pitcher plants, and do not have so many special abilities. Their method of defecation is simple, through the branches or leaves, they expel salt and water from the body, and send these things to the bark or heart of the tree. Some common wood or paper books may have plant poop.

These are not common in life, and the closest thing to life is the leaves. In the fall, the leaves fall and look a little beautiful. And these leaves can also be understood as trees discarding their unwanted waste.

It's not the same as what we read in the book, but it's not wrong to describe it that way.

3. The physiological behavior of plants In fact, plants not only poop, but also have many similar physiological behaviors, such as farting, urinating, breathing, sweating, and so on. Among them, breathing and sweating are the easiest to understand, breathing is photosynthesis, inhaling carbon dioxide and expelling oxygen. Sweating is water or grease on some of the branches, which can be seen on most trees.

Broadly speaking,Plants can poopMost plants do not have bowel organs, plantsPhotosynthesis, salt drainage, drainage, etc., even in poop.

Plants also poop, and the water excreted by the photosynthesis of plants is actually "poop".

To be exact, it's called metabolismPlants have metabolism, but they don't poop. They inhale carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen, a process similar to how humans breathe, and plants excrete water through their leaves, just like humans sweat or urinate.

When you are a baby, your spinal cord controls urination, but when you grow older, your brain controls it, so you won't wet the bed at that time. So, the spinal cord of a vegetative person will be good, but it will not be able to defecate normally.

In critical cases, urinary urination is usually performed through catheterization. A few days after eating or nasogastric feeding, the patient will have a bowel movement. If you can't pass it, bloating will occur, and your doctor will take medication or a lubricant enema to help you pass the stool.

When the condition is stable, the catheter can be removed and the catheter can be removed and you can urinate on your own.

A quarter of the feces is water, and the rest is mostly protein, inorganics, fats, undigested dietary fiber, dehydrated digestive juice residues, cells shed from the intestines and dead bacteria, as well as vitamin K, vitamin B, etc. These components in manure, after fermentation, become nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and other elements required for plant growth, which can not only provide comprehensive nutrition for crops, but also have long fertilizer efficiency, increase and renew soil organic matter, promote microbial reproduction, and improve the physical and chemical properties and biological activity of soil.

It should be noted that manure must be fermented before it can be used as fertilizer for plants, otherwise many components are not transformed and are not easily absorbed by plants, and at the same time, a certain degree of fermentation of manure in the soil will produce methane, ammonia and heat, burn the root system of plants, and cause plant death.
