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.

Which characteristic of viruses prevents them from being used as evidence to support cell theory?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Viruses replicate only inside host cells.

Explanation:

<u>Viruses are not used as evidence to support the cell theory because they are not considered a cell and cannot carry out vital life processes without getting into host cells. </u>

According to the cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of life, all living organisms are made up of cells and cells arose from preexisting cells. A virus that is not in a host cell is just a piece of DNA/RNA surrounded by a protein coat and is not capable of carrying out any life process for it to be considered living.

<em>Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they get access to a living host. They use the genetic mechanisms of the host to replicate their DNA/RNA using the lytic or lysogenic cycle. Hence, they are not used to support the cell theory. </em>

20 POINTS FOR FIRST PART AND 20 POINTS FOR THE SECOND PART
Tatiana [17]
The Calvin cycle (also known as the Calvin–Benson cycle) is the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The cycle is light-independent because it takes place after the energy has been captured from sunlight.
