Answer: option B) Statement is false

Explanation:

Living things are NOT composed only of organic elements. Organic elements refers to compounds of Carbon, whereas living things such as Vertebrates (man, shark, lion etc) possess bones, teeth with INORGANIC components like phosphorus, magnesium, calcium.

Also, nonliving things are NOT made up of only inorganic elements. A good example is the air we breathe, it is non-living, yet contains carbon in the form of Carbiondioxide.

Olin [163]
There are many environmental negative direct outcomes of unused excess nitrogen from nitrogenous fertilizers. One of these is eutrophication. Eutrophication is the excessive richness of nutrients in a water body as a result of fertilizer run offs from the land, which causes a dense growth of plants in the water. Other negative outcomes are: green house effects, acid rain and contamination of underground water which has negative effects on human health.

<h2>Urea </h2>

Explanation:

Urea is a small nitrogenous compound which is the main end product of protein catabolism in mammals

  • Urea is a nitrogen-containing substance normally cleared from the blood by the kidney into the urine
  • It is made predominantly in the liver from ammonia and bicarbonate and is one of the main components of urine
  • The rate of synthesis varies from 300 to 600 mmol/day depending on the protein intake
  • All of this urea eventually finds its way into the urine
  • Because urea makes up a large part of the obligatory solute excretion, its osmotic pressure requires significant volumes of water to carry the urea
  • Urea passively crosses biological membranes, but its permeability is low because of its low solubility in the lipid bilayer
  • Some cells speed up this process through urea transporters, which move urea by facilitated diffusion
  • Urea is passively reabsorbed in the proximal tubule, but its route of transport is not clear
  • Urea transporters have not yet been identified for the proximal tubule
