All the nitrogenous wastes in the fishes are converted into ammonia before it is excreted out into the water. This ammonia directly dissloves in the water. Birds and lizards excrete nitrogenous wastes as uric acid. The excretory product in humans is urea. 
Question 83.


The _____  join up to form veins which empty carbon dioxide rich blood into the heart


  1.     arteries 
  2.     aorta
  3.     veins 
  4.     capillaries 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> capillaries 
:
D
Arteries transport oxygenated blood to all parts of the body form the heart. On reaching the tissues, arteries divide into capillaries. After delivering oxygen, now the capillaries join to form veins. The veins carry the carbon dioxide rich blood to the heart.

Answer: Option A. -> It removes wastes
:
A and B

Sweat is composed of mainly water, excess salts and urea, which need to be removed from the body as waste. Its main function is to control body temperature. As the water in the sweat evaporates, the surface of the skin cools. Thus sweat removes waste from the body and cools it down as well.


Question 85.
