Answer:

A. Uric acid

Explanation:

Most water is conserved in the body of an organism which excretes uric acid as urinary waste or in short we can say that least water is lost from the body of organisms which excrete uric acid. Based on the habitat and niche, body of various organisms are adapted to produce either ammonia, urea or uric acid as waste products. Among ammonia, urea and uric acid, <u>uric acid is least toxic and also requires very less water</u> in order to get excreted out of the body.

Birds spend most of the time in sky flying high, in such scenario they do not get enough excess to water because within sky there are no water resources so it is their utmost necessity to conserve water in the body. They get access to water resources only when they come back to land which is not a regular practice for them. This is the reason why birds excrete uric acid as nitrogenous waste product.

Where does the energy go after it reaches the top predators?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. In each case, energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next trophic level and each time some energy is lost as heat into the environment.

Answer:

d. Measure thyroid-stimulating hormone level

Explanation:

The most suitable next step in management of this patient is to measure a thyroid stimulating hormone, or thyrotropin level.

This patient's apparent treatment refractory dyslipidemia is most likely contributed by undiagnosed thyroid disease. Despite sticking to the treatment with atorvastatin, his  LDL AND total cholesterol are raised.

Additionally, there are some clinical signals that give an idea about the diagnosis of hypothyroidism especially  fatigue and constipation.

Hypothyroidism is concerned with and is a very common secondary cause of dyslipidemia and thyrotropin level measures are indicated.

Hyperlipidemia may show better results to thyroid stimulating hormone.

Hence option D is the right answer.

This is just one wat that irregular galaxies are formed; the collision is due to the interaction of their gravitational forces. These galaxies might have been regular before the collision, but are not deformed. 
Another form of irregular galaxies are the ones that are still very young and therefore have not yet reached their symmetrical state.</span>
