Question:

In Birds, ammonia is converted into 'A' in 'B' by 'C' and excreted through kidney.
Identify A, B and C

Show Hint

Birds are uricotelic and make uric acid in the liver through the inosinic acid pathway.

  • A- uric acid, B-pancreas and C-urea cycle.
  • A- urea, B-kidney and C-ornithine cycle
  • A- urea, B-liver and C-Krebs cycle
  • A- uric acid, B-liver and C-inosinic acid pathway

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Birds save water by excreting nitrogen as insoluble uric acid, so they are uricotelic.

Step 2: Find A, B and C
A is uric acid. It is formed in the liver (B). The route is the inosinic acid pathway (C).

Step 3: Why the others fail
The urea (ornithine) cycle is used by ureotelic animals. Pancreas and the Krebs cycle are not involved in uric acid formation.

Final Answer:
A is uric acid, B is liver and C is inosinic acid pathway. \[ \boxed{\text{(D) }\text{A- uric acid, B-liver and C-inosinic acid pathway}} \]
