  • b. Carbon dioxide
  • c. Urea
  • d. Ammonia
Answer
a. Glucose

Which is most toxic waste

  • a. Uric acid
  • b. Urea
  • c. Nitrogen
  • d. Ammonia
Answer
d. Ammonia
Explanation
Ammonia is the most toxic form. It requires large amount of water during its elimination. Some fresh water fishes are ammonotelic

In context of mode of exertion, humans are

  • a. Ammonotelic
  • b. Ureotelic
  • c. Uricotelic
  • d. None
Answer
b. Ureotelic

Which among these have protonephridia or flames cells for excretion of wate materials?

  • a. Platyhelminths e.g. planaria
  • b. Earthworms and annelids
  • c. Chephalochoradtes e.g. amphioxus
  • d. a and c
Answer
d. a and c
Explanation
Platyhelminths (flatworms), some annelids (round worm) and cephalochorades have small tubules like excretory organ ‘Protonephridia’ or ‘flame cells’. Earthwroms and other annelids have nepridia for excretion; insects have malpighian tubules for this process

Organ for excretion in mammals is

  • a. Protonephridia
  • b. Nephridia
  • c. Malpighian tubule
  • d. A pair of kidneys
Answer

Antennal gland or green glands are the organs of excretion in:

  • b. Hydra
  • c. Planaria
  • d. Prawns
Answer
d. Prawns.

Crustaceans like prawns have antennal gland or green glands for excretion

  • a. Glomerulus
  • b. Renal tubule
  • c. Collecting duct
  • d. None
Answer

How many nephrons are there in a kidney?

  • a. 1million
  • b. 10k
  • c. 1K
  • d. None
Answer
a. 1million

Following is absorbed actively in the kidney

  • a. Na+
  • b. K+
  • c. Glucose
  • d. Urea
Answer
c. Glucose

  • c. 75ml/min
  • d. 25ml/min
Answer
b. 125ml/min
