Question 2 Provide some of the adaptations that allowed animals to adapt to life on dry land. What will be an ideal response? Title: Chart the path of urine from the blood to the outside of the body. Post by: rimaaazzz on Mar 30, 2018 ANSWER: Urine (including its precursor compounds) would follow this path: Bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct, ureter, bladder, and finally out of the body via the urethra. ANSWER: On dry land, water conservation is an ever-present concern. Having dry skin and modifying respirations are good strategies to prevent water loss. But, the key is to be able to filter toxins from the fluids of the body without losing the fluids themselves. To this end, land animals have evolved very efficient kidneys to filter metabolic waster and retain water. |
