the bodys main nitrogenous waste products are which three of the following?
□ urea
□ albumin
□ uric acid
□ creatinine
□ globulin

Explanation:

• Urea: It is a major nitrogenous waste product formed in the liver from the breakdown of amino acids.
• Uric acid: Produced from the breakdown of purines (found in nucleic acids).
• Creatinine: A waste product from the normal wear - and - tear of muscles in the body.

Albumin and globulin are proteins (not nitrogenous waste products). Albumin is an important plasma protein for maintaining osmotic pressure, and globulins have various functions like immunity (e.g., antibodies are globulins).

Answer:

Urea, Uric acid, Creatinine.
