Define: Ammonotelism, Ureotelism, Uricotelism. What is Excretion? What is Nephron? Bunch of capillaries in the cavity of Bowman's capsule is called ____. Cup-like structure having double wall is ____. Highly coiled part of nephron is called ____.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for definitions and explanations related to nephrology and excretory systems, including specific terms and structures involved in kidney function.
Answer
1. Ammonotelism: Ammonia excretion 2. Ureotelism: Urea excretion 3. Uricotelism: Uric acid excretion 4. Excretion: Waste elimination 5. Nephron: Kidney unit 6. Capillaries: Glomerulus 7. Cup-like structure: Bowman's capsule 8. Coiled part: Proximal convoluted tubule
- Ammonotelism: Excretion of nitrogenous waste as ammonia, common in aquatic animals.
- Ureotelism: Excretion of nitrogenous waste as urea, common in mammals.
- Uricotelism: Excretion of nitrogenous waste as uric acid, common in birds.
- Excretion: The process of eliminating waste from the body.
- Nephron: The basic functional unit of the kidney.
- Bunch of capillaries: Glomerulus.
- Cup-like structure: Bowman's capsule.
- Highly coiled part: Proximal convoluted tubule.

- Cup-like structure: Bowman's capsule.
- Highly coiled part: Proximal convoluted tubule.
More Information
Different animals adopt different methods of nitrogen excretion based on habitat and evolutionary adaptations. The nephron is a critical structure for filtering and excreting waste in the kidneys.
Tips
Make sure not to confuse the nitrogenous waste products related to each term. Match each type with the correct type of organism.
