B Correct answer
Explanation

Answer is option B i.e."Internal iliac vein"
The internal iliac vein drains blood from the visceral organs in the pelvic region. The internal iliac vein may double all these veins and tributaries join together to form the inferior vena cava.

Multiple choice biology excretion - the wastage disposing system excretion in other organisms other excretory organ role of other organs in excretion

Organisms that excrete amino acid is

  1. Aminotelic

  2. Ammonotelic

  3. Ureotelic

  4. Uricotelic
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Certain invertebrates like some molluscs (Unio, Limnaea, etc.) and some echinoderms (e.g., Asterias) excrete excess amino acids as such. These animals are called aminotelic and their mode of excretion is called aminotelism.

So, the correct option is 'Aminotelic'.

Multiple choice biology excretion - the wastage disposing system introduction to excretory system structures and functions related to the excretory system introduction to excretion

Find the incorrect pairing. 

  1. Nephridia and Leech

  2. Organ of Bojanus and Snail

  3. Malpighian tubules and Cockroach

  4. Kidney and Rat
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Nephridia are the invertebrate excretory organ that performs a function similar to the vertebrate kidney. These are small coiled tubes. Leech contains 17 pairs of nephridia arranged segmentally. 

The excretory organ of snail is nephridia. 
Malpighian tubules are types of excretory organs found in Cockroach. These excrete nitrogenous and other wastes. 
The excretory system of rats is kidneys. 
Thus, the correct answer is 'Organs of Bojanus and Snail.'

Multiple choice biology excretion - the wastage disposing system introduction to excretory system structures and functions related to the excretory system introduction to excretion

Select the option that correctly matches a characteristics feature with the group of three animals.

  1. Excretion through Malpighian tubules - Limulus, Loligo, Locusta

  2. Parapodia help in swimmming - Neries, Pheretima, Hirudinaria

  3. Rasping organ called radula - Pila, Octopus, Sepia

  4. Comb plates for locomotion - Pleurobrachia, Pennatula, Ctenoplana
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
The phylum Mollusca animals have a file-like rasping organ called radula that helps in feeding.
(A) Malpighian tubules are the excretory organs present in terrestrial arthropods and are responsible for maintaining the ionic and osmotic balance. These tubules remove the waste from the hemolymph and the final excretion occurs in the rectum. Loligo is a mollusc.
(B) Parapodia help in swimming in aquatic annelids. Pheretima is not aquatic.
(C) In phylum Mollusca, Class Cephalopoda has a file-like structure called radula which helps in feeding. Pila, Octopus, Sepia have the radula.
(D) Phylum Ctenophora animals have eight rows of ciliated comb-plates that help in locomotion. Pennatula is a Cnidarian. 
Hence, the correct answer is 'Rasping organ called radula- Pila, Octopus, Sepia'.
Multiple choice biology excretion - the wastage disposing system introduction to excretory system structures and functions related to the excretory system introduction to excretion

Which one of the following is correctly matched?

  1. Wings of honey bee and crow - Homologous

  2. Thorn of Bougainvillea and tendrils of Cucurbita - Analogous

  3. Nephridia of earthworm and malphighian tubules of cockroach - Excretory

  4. Nictitating membrane and blindspot in human eye - Vestigial
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Homologous organs are the organ which has the same origin but performs different functions. Wings of honey bee and crow are the analogous as they perform the same function. Where thorn of Bougainvillea and tendrils of Cucurbita are the homologous organs. Nictitating membrane is the vestigial organ of the human eye but not the blind spot. Whereas nephridia is the excretory organ of earthworm and malpighian tubule of the cockroach. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
