Answer:

A chemical found in urine that is produced from breaking down of proteins is called urea.

Explanation:

In human beings the source of nitrogenous waste is mainly proteins and nucleic acids.

Proteins are degraded into amino acids. These amino acids upon deamination produce ammonia and carbon skeleton. The carbon skeleton enters into gluconeogenesis pathway producing glycogen stores where as ammonia enter the urea cycle forming urea to be excreted in the urine.

Urea is also obtained from catabolism of pyrimidines (nitrogenous bases- cytosine and thymine). Small amounts of uric acid is also present in the urine and is obtained from the catabolism of purines. Purines i.e. Adenine and guanine in the presence of enzymes changes into hypoxanthine and xanthine which in the presence of oxidase enzyme forms uric acid.

Recall what you know about nervous tissue to answer the following questions. Nervous tissue can generate and conduct ____ signal
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Nervous tissue can generate and conduct <u>electrical</u> signals that control the body.

Explanation:

The neuron is the specialized cell that provides function to nerve tissue. Given the structure of the neuron, this cell is capable of creating and conducting information in the form of electrical impulses or signals, by depolarizing its cell membrane and generating action potentials.

The information generated and transmitted by the neurons allows the nervous system to obtain internal and external information of the organism, as well as to control all the body functions.

<em>     The other options are not true because nerve tissue does not generate or conduct </em><em>thermal </em><em>or</em><em> chemical </em><em>signals to perform its function.</em>
