The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Ultra filtration takes place through basement membrane of glomerulus due to the glomeruler hydrostatic pressure (GHP) i.e., 70 mm Hg. Blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP) i.e., 30 mm Hg. Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) i.e., 20 mm Hg. Effective filtration pressure = GHP - (BCOP + CHP) EFP =70-30+20 EFP = 20

Excretory products and their elimination

The physiological process of the elimination of metabolic waste from the body is called excretion. The excretory products comprise amino acids, carbon dioxide, urea, uric acid, water, and ammonia. Some of the Molluscs and Echinoderms excrete waste products from the body in the form of amino acids. Ammonia is the foremost excretory product in animals, it is derived from the proteins exists in the food we eat.
