Reduces water loss compared to other nitrogenous wastes but requires more metabolic energy to produce

Mammals excretes urea as the primary nitrogenous waste product. On the other hand birds, and reptiles excretes uric acid as the primary nitrogenous product. They are called uricothelics because they can convert ammonia to uric acid. Uric acid is a compound similar to purines. This is produced through a complex metabolic pathway thay cost high energy. However it has advantages such as reducing water loss.

Which statement correctly describes metabolic reactions? Intermediary metabolism breaks down material and transforms fuels into
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Catabolic processes break down material and transforms fuels into cellular energy, whereas anabolic processes require energy for biosynthesis.

Explanation:

Metabolism is a constructive and destructive process which occurs in the body of living organisms. There are two types of metabolism i. e. catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is a destructive process in which food molecules are broken down into simpler substances for the production of energy while anabolism used this energy for the formation of new cells and muscles etc.

Why are phosphates a critical part of life
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Phosphates are critical part of life because of the diverse roles they perform in the lives of living organisms, especially in DNA and RNA molecules.

Phosphates are formed from two elements, phosphorus and oxygen. Phosphorus is a very important element that play a crucial roles in the formation of bones and teeth. It is also plays vital roles in carbohydrate metabolism, fat metabolism, protein synthesis and repair of worn out tissues. Oxygen on the other hand is required for oxidation of biological fuel and for breathing.

Phosphates are usually formed from one atom of phosphorus and four atoms of oxygen, it has the chemical formula PO4. Phosphate is an important component of DNA and RNA molecules, phosphates hold these molecules together. Phosphate molecule is also found in ATP, which is the energy currency of living cells.
