Do animalstalk?
If and when twoanimals talk theymust use a language. To understand whatthey are talking aboutwe must know theirlanguage. Language isthe method by whichinformation isexchanged betweentwo animals. Truelanguage is themeans by whichcommunication canbe possible. Mostanimals communicate,not through language,but by instinctualbehaviors that conveymessages to others.Animals make a widevariety of sounds,from the musical songof a bird to the howl of the wolf, to thecontented purr of acat. While they areunable to talk in thesense that humansdo, they docommunicate withsound in a way that isunderstood only byother members of their own species.Still, we have beenunable to translateindividual animalsounds in aframework that canbe called truelanguage.

Do plantsexcrete?
Plants do not needfood like animals. They use light energyto make all theorganic compoundsthey require fromcarbon dioxide, water,and about 14 mineralnutrients they absorbfrom the soil. Probablythe only metabolicwaste product of mostplants is oxygen,which readily diffusesout of the leaves.Nonphotosyntheticplant parts andphotosynthetic plantparts at night produceexcess carbon dioxidewhich might beconsidered a wasteproduct. However,carbon dioxide isessential to plants forphotosynthesis.Overall plants absorbmuch more carbondioxide than theyexcrete.Certain salt-tolerantplants (calledhalophytes)sometimesaccumulate mineralnutrients or salts thatthey excrete ontotheir leaves. Manyplants producesecondary substancessuch as caffeine,latex, and nicotinethat were oncethought to be wasteproducts. However, itis now believed thatsecondary compoundshave functions in theplant. Many secondarycompounds deterherbivores.
