Do insects urinate? (1 Viewer)

[Sarah182]

I understand that insects remove nitrogenous wastes in the form of uric acid, however is it through the process urination or another method?

Thanks.

you don't need to know that.

but anyway, all I've got in my notes is..
Insects have Malpighian tubules which collect water and uric acid from the Haemolymph and empty it into the gut

It was said before, you don't need to know.

Basically, all you need to know are the forms of the excretion (nitrogenous wastes).

The Dot Point book = one of your best friends for this course.
