Question

Match the items of column I with those of column II:

Column I
(a) Ammonotelism
(b) Bowman's capsule
(c) Micturition
(d) Uricotelism
(d) ADH

Column II
(i) Birds
(ii) Water reabsorption
(iii) Bony fish
(iv) Urinary bladder
(v) Renal tubule

Answer 1

a-bony fish
b-renal tubule
c-urinary bladder
d-birds
e-water reabsorption

Answer 2

(a)ammoniotelic-bony fish(iii),

(b)Bowman's capsule -renal tubule(v),

(c)Micturition -urinary bladder(iv),

(d) Uricotelism -birds(i),

(e)ADH -water reabsorption(ii),

Few of the terms are explained below:

Ammoniotelic: Ammoniotelic is the excretion phenomenon related to ammonia and its ions. Ammonia (NH3) is formed with the oxidation of amino groups. (-NH2) ion is removed from the proteins then it converts into carbohydrates.

Bowman's capsule: It is similar to a cup-like sack and located at the beginning of the nephron’s tubular component in the kidney of mammals that performs the initial step of ultra-filtration of blood to form urine.

Micturition: The micturition reflex normally products and in the form of a series of contractions of the urinary bladder. The flow of urine through the urethra has an overall excitation role in micturition, in voiding the bladder.
