Vedclass · Answer

(A) Uric acid is excreted in the form of a pellet or paste with a minimum loss of water. Animals that excrete uric acid are known as uricotelic animals (e.g.,birds,reptiles,and insects). Since uric acid is nearly insoluble in water,it requires very little water for its excretion. Approximately $1 	ext{ ml}$ of water is required to excrete $1 	ext{ g}$ of uric acid. Therefore,to excrete $10 	ext{ g}$ of uric acid,approximately $10 	ext{ ml}$ of water is required. Thus,the range of $5$ to $10 	ext{ ml}$ is the most appropriate answer.

How much amount of water is required to excrete $10 \text{ g}$ of uric acid?
