Urea in humans is synthesized in:
1. Kidneys | 2. Renal vein |
3. Liver | 4. Urinary bladder |
The most toxic nitrogenous metabolic waste product is:
1. ammonia | 2. urea |
3. uric acid | 4. methane |
Uricotelic mode of passing out nitrogenous wastes is found in
1. | reptiles and bird | 2. | birds and annelids |
3. | amphibians and reptiles | 4. | insects and amphibians |
Bony fishes are:
1. ureotelic | 2. ammonotelic |
3. uricotelic | 4. Either 1 or 3 |
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): | Excreting uric acid in birds and reptiles with shelled eggs conveys a selective advantage. |
Reason (R): | Uric acid is more energetically expensive than urea. |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): | Many amphibians excrete mainly ammonia when they are aquatic tadpoles and switch largely to urea excretion when they become land dwelling adults. |
Reason (R): | The main disadvantage of urea is its energy cost and the main advantage is its low toxicity. |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
All the following animals are uricotelic except:
1. Reptiles | 2. Land snails |
3. Birds | 4. Marine fishes |
Protonephridia are the excretory structures in all the following except:
1. Planaria | 2. Rotifers |
3. Amphioxus | 4. Prawns |
Assertion (A): | The filtration step common to other excretory systems in Malpighian tubules is absent. |
Reason (R): | Malpighian tubules in insects serve in excretion and osmoregulation. |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
