21
Q

Some of the most toxic byproducts of metabolism

A

Nitrogen containing waste

22
Q

From the breakdown of proteins and nucleic acids

A

Nitrogen containing waste(s)

23
Q

Removed when molecules are broken apart from energy of when they are converted to carbs or fats’

24
Very toxic nitrogenous waste produce
Ammonia (NH3)
25
What most aquatic animals excrete to expel wastes
Ammonia (NH3)
26
Excreted by many marines fish, terrestrial mammals, adult amphibians, and turtles
Urea
27
Filtered from blood by kidneys and excreted by urine
Urea
28
Freshwater fish excrete lots of
Diluted urine
29
Marine bony fish produce and expel small amounts of
Concentrated urine
30
Land snails, insects, birds, and many reptiles excrete uric acid as
Nitrogenous waste
31
Little water loss happens doing
Nitrogenous waste
32
Nitrogenous waste is in
Crystalline form
33
Blood exits after it is filtered by the kidneys
Renal veins
34
Blood enters the kidneys
Renal arteries
35
Narrow muscular tube
Ureter(s)
36
Where urine leaves the kidneys
Ureter(s)
37
Where ureter transports urine
Urinary bladder(s)
38
Urine is stored here until it is expelled
Urinary bladder
39
Tube that connects the bladder to the outside
Urethra
40
Sphincter muscles near the junction, and the bladders control urination
Urethra
41
Mammals adapted to desert conditions have nephrons with
Long loop(s) (loop of henle)
42
This helps concentrate the urine and conserve water
Long loop(s) (loop of henle)
43
Mammals like beavers that are near water have nephrons with
Short loops
