Match the items of column I with those of column II:
Column I Column II
(a) Ammonotelism (i) Birds
(b) Bowman’s capsule (ii) Water reabsorption
(c) Micturition (iii) Bony fish
(d) Uricotelism (iv) Urinary bladder
(d) ADH (v) Renal tubule

Solution:

(a) Ammonotelism refers to organisms that excrete ammonia. Examples of such organisms include most aquatic organisms like Porifera, bony fishes, and protozoa. So, it matches with bony fishes.

(b) Bowman’s capsule is a part of the renal tubule located at the mouth of the renal tubule. Hence, it correctly matches with the renal tubule.

(c) Micturition refers to the act of passing urine. It’s a natural reaction. The stretch receptors in the bladder wall are stimulated by distension, and reflex action is triggered. As a result, micturition matches with the urinary bladder. 

(d) Uricotelism refers to organisms are those which excrete urea which requires less water than ammonotelic organisms. Examples are cartilagenous fishes, birds, and humans. So, it matches with the birds. 

(e) The hypothalamus produces ADH (anti-diuretic hormone), which is secreted by the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary gland). ADH lowers urine production by increasing water reabsorption in the collecting ducts. So, ADH matches with Water reabsorption.

 

 

So, the matches are-

Column I Column II
(a) Ammonotelism (iii) Bony fish
(b) Bowman’s capsule (v) Renal tubule
(c) Micturition (iv) Urinary bladder
(d) Uricotelism (i) Birds
(e) ADH (ii) Water reabsorption
