Which of the following is not associated with excretion in mammals?
A
Glomerulus
B
Urea
C
Faeces
D
Carbon Dioxide
E
Bowman's capsule
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Faeces are not considered an excretory product in the strictest sense. While faeces are waste products eliminated from the body, they are primarily composed of undigested food and other waste materials from the digestive tract, not metabolic byproducts. The process of removing faeces is called egestion, not excretion.

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
The cell wall of Spirogyra is two-layered: an inner, rigid layer made of cellulose and an outer, slimy layer of pectose. The mucilage is formed by the dissolution of this outer pectose layer in water. It protects the cells from drying out (desiccation) and guards against mechanical injury.

Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
The parts used to recognize the bone in the figure above(cervical vertebrae) are as follows;
Bifid spinous process – the spinous process bifurcates at its distal end.
Transverse foramina – an opening in each transverse process, through which the vertebral arteries travel to the brain.
Triangular vertebral foramen: Two cervical vertebrae that are unique. C1 and C2 (called the atlas and axis respectively), are specialized to allow for the movement of the head, 1 and 4 are correct.
