Summary - Excretion is the elimination of waste products from the body. The non - volatile products are mainly excreted in the urine. The urinary system consists of those organs which form, store and void urine. The nitrogenous wastes are mainly produced by catabolism of proteins. Animals..

Apart from the salts which flow down to the sea waters due to weathering of the rocks, a variety of sources, such as land and sea volcanic activity, seismic activity, deposit large amounts of minerals and metals in the ocean. Some of these dissolve in the water and may rest at the ocean bed. Most o..

excretion osmoregulation The water content in the organism has to be regulated as there is a constant inflow of excess water. This is because the cell membrane surrounding the animal is semipermeable and as the protoplasm contains a higher concentration of salts than the water outs..

Introduction - Surface chemistry is the study of processes that occur at the interface of two bulk phases. The bulk phases can be of the type solid-gas, solid-liquid, liquid-gas and liquid-liquid. There is no interface between gases because of their complete miscibility. The bulk phase can be solut..

In unicellular organisms a single cell carries out all the life processes as the cell itself is the organism. In advanced forms like the few-celled algae, protozoa, sponges, etc., the size of the organism ensures that all the cells are not very far from each other. The uptake of materials from the ..

>The proteins present in the membrane may function as carriers or receptors or enzymes. Transport across membranes involves several mechanisms. There are processes like diffusion and osmosis, which do not require energy or activity of the cell. Diffusion involves movement of molecules fro..

The toxic effects of carbon monoxide on human beings and animals arise from its reversible combination with haemoglobin (H b ) in red blood cells, which cause displacement of oxygen. This results in oxygen starvation or anoxia. The maximum permissible concentration of CO in the..
