<u>ANSWER:</u>

The correct option is C: Ammonia. Ammonia is a toxic and waste compound that is of concern.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

Proteins contain nitrogen and during the catabolism of nitrogen containing compounds, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen are extracted and stored in the "form of fats and carbohydrates "by the body.

  • The excess nitrogen however gets excreted from the body. The nitrogenous wastes form "toxic ammonia" which raises the level of pH of the body fluids.
  • The toxic ammonia must be converted to "uric acid or urea" which is a non-toxic form.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Ammonia is toxic to the body. Animals that live in water excrete their waste in ammonia (aqueous) form because it is less toxic when diluted. However, land animals need to convert the ammonia to a less toxic product such as urea before excretion. Ammonia is formed through deamination of amino acid.

Compare the excretory system and urinary system.
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Excretory system and urinary system are both working to remove waste in the human body. but technically, urinary system is part of the excretory system. The excretory system includes the kidney organ which is the main and the most important organ of the urinary system, another part of the excretory systems are the large intestine and the lungs. on the other hand, urinary system aside from kidney includes ureters, urinary bladder and the urethra. when the human body produces waste products, both the excretory and the urinary work together to remove these waste products from the human body.

Anton [14]

Answer:

To regulate water balance in the body

Explanation:

The kidneys are two bean shaped renal organs which perform a host of functions for the body such as regulating fluid balance, filtering minerals from the blood etc. Among their functions is the regulation of water balance in the body through the antidiuretic hormone.

When an athlete completes a physical activity and sweats a lot, the kidney reacts to the loss of water by sweat by adjusting urine output causing the body to produce lower and more concentrated urine.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on what is known about the fetal skeleton and the ossification process it can be said that this occurs due to babies having more of the osteoblasts bone cells. These cell's main function is to lay down new bone material, this therefore creates a thicker harder bone which allows for proper support so that the body can continue growing and become stronger overall.
