Q1. The answer is removing metabolic wastes from the body.
Excretion is the process through which metabolic wastes are removed from the body. Skin, lungs, and greatly kidney, which are the part of the excretory system, are responsible for excretion of metabolic waste in vertebrates. Invertebrates have special systems (insects, for example, have Malpighian tubules) or use skin to excrete metabolic wastes while single-celled organisms use the whole surface of the cell.

Q2. The answer is some animals live in dry or salty environments.
Kidneys are important organs in maintaining water balance. Some animals that live in dry and salty environments must preserve water in order to maintain homeostasis. They drink and eat food with more salt in it. If they lose that precious water in such conditions, the amount of different salts in the organism will increase and it will affect a normal functioning of the organism.

Q3. The answer is simple diffusion across the skin. 
Ammonia is very toxic substance and a lot of water is needed for its neutralisation and excretion. Therefore, animals that live in water excrete ammonia directly in the water. Many freshwater invertebrates eliminate ammonia through skin. In animals that do not live in the water, kidneys and liver help conversion of ammonia into urea which is then excreted.,

Q4. They both actively pump salt across their gills. 
Both saltwater and freshwater fishes use gills to eliminate nitrogenous wastes while kidneys have a little role in the elimination of this kind of the waste. Salt that is lost is replaced by active transport of salt ions into the body by the gills.

Q5. The answer is They both convert nitrogenous wastes to uric acid. 
A garden spider and a sparrow are terrestrial organisms. They do not live in the water and do not excrete metabolic wastes in the water. It is known that ammonia is toxic nitrogenous substance and a lot of water is needed for its excretion. For water organisms this is not a problem, they are surrounded by water, but terrestrial organisms, such as the garden spider and the sparrow, have no such amount of water in the environment, so their kidneys and liver must convert ammonia into urine which can then easily be excreted.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a crucial role in the stress responses by regulating chiefly the ________ and ________
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: lymphatic circulatory; respiratory

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system controls the internal body functions and responses which are not under the voluntary control. The functions control by the autonomous nervous system are heart rate, body fluid circulation, respiration, urination, sexual arousal and pupillary response.

The lymphatic system is one of the part of the circulatory system, it consists of a network of connected tubes called as lymphatic vessels. These vessels distribute the lymph fluid throughout the body. The lymph fluid consists of white blood cells which provide immunity against the pathogen.

The respiratory system is the system which controls the exchange of gases (Carbon dioxide and oxygen) between the body and the environment.

Both lymphatic circulation and respiration are the two functions controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

In general it is expected that ________. Group of answer choices osmotic pressure will be lower in the arteriole end of the capi
arlik [135]

The correct answer is:

Hydrostatic pressure will drop as blood moves away from the arteriole end of the capillary bed

Explanation:

The hydrostatic pressure is exerted by a fluid in a specific point as a consequence of the weight of this fluid. Since blood is a fluid, it presents a hydrostatic pressure. In consequence, the blood in the feet have more hydrostatic pressure than the blood in the heart
