उत्तर
- Tadpole (larval stage of life cycle of amphibian) is aquatic. They are ammonotelic as they excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of ammonia.
- Ammonia is very toxic and requires large amount of water for its elimination.
- It is readily soluble in water and diffuses across the body surface and into the surrounding water.
- Also, the water lost during excretion can be made up through the surrounding water in ammonotelic organisms.
Hence, amphibian tadpole can afford to be ammonotelic.

The organs A of a person have been damaged completely due to which too much of a poisonous waste material B has started accumulating in his blood, making it dirty. In order to save this person’s life, the blood from an artery in the person’s arm is made to flow into long tubes made of substance E which are kept in coiled form in a tank containing solution F. This solution contains three materials G, H and I in similar proportions to those in normal blood. As the person’s blood passes through long tubes of substance E, most of the wastes present in it go into solution. The clean blood is then put back into a vein in the arm of the person for circulation. |
