Nitrogenous wastes are produced as a result of:
Correct answer: D. Deamination
- A. Photosynthesis
- B. Ingestion
- C. Assimilation
- D. Deamination
Explanation
During deamination, enzymes remove the amino group as ammonia (NH3), producing nitrogenous wastes like Urea. Deamination occurs when an excess in protein is consumed, resulting in the removal of an amine group, which is then converted into ammonia and expelled via urination. This deamination process allows the body to convert excess amino acids into usable by-products.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
