Refer to the following combination of excretory structure, organism and their mode of excretion. Identify the incorrect combination.
(I) Green glands - Crustacean - ureotelic
(II) Malpighian tubule - Insect - uricotelic
(III) Nephridia - Annelida - uricotelic
(IV) Flame cells - Aschelminthes - ammonotelic
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
• Crustaceans (aquatic insects) are mainly ammonotelic; green (antennal) glands excrete ammonia.
• Insects excrete uric acid through malpighian tubules.
• Annelids (e.g., earthworm) are primarily ureotelic and excrete urea through nephridia.
• Flame cells occur in Platyhelminthes (Planaria), not Aschelminthes (nematodes).
