Question
The waste product of insects is?
Options
A)
uric acid
B)
urine
C)
Mucilage
D)
sweat
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Most terrestrial insects produce uric acid as their main nitrogenous waste product. Uric acid is a relatively non- toxic and highly insoluble waste product.
Therefore, it can crystallize out of solution, and may be either retained in the body, or eliminated as a solid waste material with little water loss.
