Which of the following relationships is accurate?
A) Insects: Malpighian tubules: urea as major nitrogenous waste
B) Annelids: protonephridia: ammonia as major nitrogenous waste
C) Freshwater fish: kidney: large volume of hypotonic urine
D) Sharks: kidney: large volume of hypertonic urine
E) Earthworm: kidney: ammonia as major nitrogenous waste
Malpighian Tubules
Excretory tubes uniquely found in the digestive system of insects and arachnids, serving to remove waste products from the blood.
Major Nitrogenous Waste
The primary form of nitrogen excreted by organisms, which varies among species (urea in mammals, uric acid in birds and reptiles, and ammonia in aquatic organisms).
Annelids
A phylum of segmented worms that includes earthworms and leeches, characterized by their segmented bodies and presence in diverse habitats.
- Elucidate the variances among the excretory substances (ammonia, urea, uric acid) and their ramifications for varied animal taxa.
- Explicate the design and operation of various excretory systems and organs in distinct groups of animals.
