Reduces water loss compared to other nitrogenous wastes but requires more metabolic energy to produce

Mammals excretes urea as the primary nitrogenous waste product. On the other hand birds, and reptiles excretes uric acid as the primary nitrogenous product. They are called uricothelics because they can convert ammonia to uric acid. Uric acid is a compound similar to purines. This is produced through a complex metabolic pathway thay cost high energy. However it has advantages such as reducing water loss.

zmey [24]
Answer: 4%

Out of 5000kcal, the owl loses 2300kcal which mean it could only process 2700kcal. Out of 2700kcal processed, 2500 kcal is used for cellular respiration so there is 200 kcal used to make body cells. The production efficiency would be: 200kcal/5000kcal= 4%

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

An efficient way to search for and insert a value in a cell when the desired value is stored elsewhere in the worksheet or even in a different workbook is by using lookup functions.

Explanation:

  • Lookup function is the built in function of excel that helps in returning the certain value form specific row or column.
  • When the value is stored in the worksheet we can easily insert that desired value in the cell by the use of lookup functions.
  • VLOOKUP  and HLOOKUP are the lookup unctions that searches the value in column and row respectively.
