Malphighian tubules absorb waste materials and salts from__________?

Correct answer: D. Hemolymph

  • A. Blood
  • B. Lymph
  • C. Gut
  • D. Hemolymph

Explanation

In insects, Malpighian tubules remove nitrogenous wastes and salts from the haemolymph, the insect equivalent of blood. They do not absorb these wastes from the gut or lymph, so choosing blood reflects a generalised but imprecise use of the term blood.
