IF the wastes are acidic in nature, adding basic (alkaline) materials would counteract the acidity.

Nitrogenous wastes is it creatinine or fatty acid or lipid or carbon dioxide or sugar?

Nitrogenous wastes are waste substances which contain nitrogen. Generally these are produced in the liver by the breakdown of unwanted amino acids. Most of the waste (in mammals) is in the form of urea, but smaller amounts of other substances, such as creatinine, are also produced. Carbon dioxide only contains carbon and oxygen. Sugar and fatty acids only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Some lipids (phospholipids) may contain small amounts of nitrogen.


What are nitrogenous wastes created from urine formation?

Nitrogenous wastes created during urine formation include urea, creatinine, and uric acid. These substances are byproducts of protein metabolism and the breakdown of nucleic acids. They are filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine to maintain proper balance in the body.


Is toxic waste toxic?

Yes, toxic wastes are substances that can cause harm to living organisms and the environment when not properly managed or disposed of. These wastes can contain chemicals, heavy metals, or radioactive materials that can be harmful in high concentrations or if released into the environment.


Why may low level wastes pose a more serious health threat to people than high level wastes?

Low level wastes contain a higher volume of material that can become dispersed in the environment, potentially posing a greater risk of exposure to individuals over time. Additionally, low level wastes may have longer half-lives and be more difficult to contain or manage effectively compared to high level wastes.


What fluid gets rid of water urea and other wastes?

Urine is the fluid that gets rid of water, urea, and other metabolic wastes from the body. It is produced by the kidneys and eliminated from the body via the urinary system.
