Activity 1

Redraw the following table in your notebook and fill in the missing spaces.

[tex]\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{ORGAN} & \text{WASTE PRODUCT/S} & \text{ORIGIN} & \text{PRODUCT EXCRETED} \\
\hline
1. & \text{CO}_2 \text{ and water} & & \text{CO}_2 \text{ and water in exhaled air} \\
\hline
\text{Skin (sweat glands)} & & \text{Extracted from blood} & \\
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{3.} & \text{Urea} & \underline{M} & \underline{\hspace{1cm}} \\
\hline
& & \text{Breakdown of Haemoglobin} & \text{faeces} \\
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{\text{Colon}} & & \text{Breakdown of Haemoglobin} & - \\
\hline
& \text{Excess mineral salts} & & \text{faeces} \\
\hline
\multirow{3}{*}{5.} & \text{Urea} & - & \text{Urine} \\
\hline
& & \text{Excess taken in with food} & \text{Urine} \\
\hline
& \text{Water} & — & \text{Urine} \\
\hline
\end{array}

Answer :

Sure! Here is the filled-in table based on typical functions of various organs involved in excretion:
