The kidneys contribute to waste management by recycling metabolic products and converting toxic substances into less toxic ones.
Kidneys are an important organ of animals as they provide a channel for the disposal of body waste and simultaneously regulate the balance in the level of salt and water in the body.
Kidneys work as microfilters that are capable of eliminating dissolved and suspended forms of ammonia, uric acid, urea, creatine, creatinine, amino acids, excess salts, and water along with proper disposal of organic waste which altogether constitutes the metabolic waste of the body. These substances before being finally excreted from the boy undergo a last round of reabsorption.

Answer:
the correct option is E.
Explanation:
in this case the shrew occupies the level of both secondary and tertiary consumers.
as the shrew eats spider( a secondary consumer) so it is a tertiary consumer but it also eats snails( a primary consumer) so it is therefore a secondary consumer also.
so the shrew occupies both secondary and tertiary consumer trophic level.
Answer:
In the group of terms, the exception to abiotic factors is bacteria (option b).
Explanation:
Abiotic factors correspond to the elements of an ecosystem that are not considered alive, such as soil, wind, temperature, pH, among others.
All living beings in an ecosystem are biotic elements, including microorganisms such as bacteria. The dynamics of living beings influence the ecosystem, just as abiotic factors influence both the biotic elements and the development of the ecosystem.
Answer:
There are prion-like particles in the brain normally, and when these become abnormal they can cause disease. (Ans. A)
Explanation:
Prions are proteins which can trigger normal proteins to fold abnormally, and they are present in the brain. They are causing many types of neurodegenerative diseases in both humans and animals. Which are known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.
Prions can enter the brain with the help of infection, also can arise from the gene mutation that encodes the proteins, and sometimes this affects humans by infected meat.
If a person infected from prion disease, it affects central nervous system tissues like brain, eye tissues and spinal cord.
