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.

If you wanted to see a cell wall, where could you look?.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A cell wall is a structural layer surrounding some types of cells, just outside the cell membrane. It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.

Explanation:

A cell wall is a rigid, semi-permeable protective layer in some cell types. This outer covering is positioned next to the cell membrane (plasma membrane) in most plant cells, fungi, bacteria, algae, and some archaea.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the disorder is recessive, neither parent has to have the disorder because

they can be heterozygous. The characteristic features of autosomal recessive inheritance is as follows:-

•Appears in both sexes with equal frequency

• Trait tend to skip generations

• Affected offspring are usually born to unaffected parents

• When both parents are heterozygous approx. 1/4 of the progeny will be affected

• Appears more frequently among the children of consanguineous marriages.

The given pedigree follows these features. So the correct option is 'Autosomal recessive trait'.

Please correct me If I am wrong :)

Naddik [55]
Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring molecules. Think of a frying pan set over an open camp stove. The fire's heat causes molecules in the pan to vibrate faster, making it hotter.

What 3 systems get put to work when a beaver is building a home and how?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

beaver dams smooth out water flow by increasing the area wetted by the stream. This allows more water to seep into the ground where its flow is slowed. This water eventually finds its way back to the stream. Rivers with beaver dams in their head waters have lower high water and higher low water levels.
