Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which saves water.
Nitrogenous waste in the body tend to form toxic ammonia, which must be excreted. Mammals such as human excrete urea, while birds, reptiles, and some terrestrial invertebrates produce uric acid as waste in the form of a white paste or power. The production of uric acid involves a complex metabolic pathway that is energetically costly in comparison to processing of other nitrogenous wastes such as urea or ammonia, it has the advantages of reducing water loss and, hence, reducing the need for water.
Answer:
Homology is a study of similar characters found in two species because of common ancestry.
Explanation:
1.Morphological homology: Species placed under same taxonomic category exhibit similar anatomical structures.
2.Ontogenetic homology: Species belongs to same taxonomic category embryological similarities
3.Molecular homology: Species show molecular similarities such as DNA,RNA and protein
An example of homology is seen in the skeletal strycture of vertebrates. That is arm of a human,leg of a cat,fin of a whale and wing of a bat.
Answer:
b. Theories unify a broad range of observations and hypotheses.
Explanation:
In broad terms, theories are the set of principles that can or must be used to explain certain phenomena. It involves the involvement or inclusion of any set of principles to get to a conclusion.
Hypothesis, on the other hand, is just a term used for an assumption made. And this assumption may be made even before any observation has been done, a mere suggestion for how to proceed with things or an assumption about things.
Thus, scientific theories unify a broader range of observations that had been done, including any hypothesis. So, the <u>correct answer is option b</u>.
