Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A carbon atom is a group 14 element that has atomic number 6. Electronic distribution of carbon atom is 2, 4.

So, there are four valence electrons presents in a carbon atom. In order to attain stability carbon atom needs to be bonded to four electrons of another atom.

A carbon atom usually bonds with another atom by sharing of electrons.

Hence, we can conclude that a carbon atom is able to form covalent bonds with other atoms.

. Explain why some desert animals excrete uric acid rather than ammonia.<br>(2 marks)​
avanturin [10]

Answer:

AFAIK

Explanation:

uric acid is much less toxic than ammonia, hence bigger concentrations of it are tolerated in the body. This means you can excrete it while excreting very little water - beneficial wherever water's not abundant.

There's a tradeoff though, uric acid requires more energy to synthesize than ammonia, so pretty much all fish, say, excrete ammonia rather than uric acid - it's no problem to dilute ammonia since there's no water shortage.
