Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which saves water. 
Nitrogenous waste in the body tend to form toxic ammonia, which must be excreted. Mammals such as human excrete urea, while birds, reptiles, and some terrestrial invertebrates produce uric acid as waste in the form of a white paste or power. The production of uric acid involves a complex metabolic pathway that  is energetically costly in comparison to processing of other nitrogenous wastes such as urea or ammonia, it has the advantages of reducing water loss and, hence, reducing the need for water.

A student designs an experiment to test substances X, Y, and Z, to determine which one is a catalyst for the reaction: A + B ® C
guapka [62]
The effect of a catalyst is to increase the speed of the reaction, this is the speed at which reactants, A and B, are consumed, ant the product, C, is produced.


Given that when C is produced the solution bubbles, the bubbles are an indication of progression of the reaction.


The greater the speed of reaction, the earlier the reaction will end and the earlier the bubbles will stop.   


So the student can identify the catalyst because the bubbles will stop first.


Answer: <span>The test tube that stops bubbling first contains the catalyst.</span>
