Which of the following organisms has salt secreting glands?

Which of the following organisms has salt secreting glands?

Options

  1. AMarine iguanas only.
  2. BSea turtles only.
  3. CBoth Marine iguanas and Sea Turtles
  4. DBoth Whales and sea turtles.

Correct answer

C. Both Marine iguanas and Sea Turtles

Step-by-step solution

Salt-secreting glands are specialized organs found in certain marine reptiles and birds to excrete excess salt and maintain osmotic balance.

Marine iguanas possess supraorbital salt glands above their eyes, which empty into the nasal cavity and allow them to forcefully expel excess salt.

Sea turtles have modified lachrymal glands near their eyes that secrete a highly concentrated salt solution, helping them excrete salt ingested with seawater.

Marine mammals like whales do not possess salt glands. They manage excess salt primarily through highly efficient kidneys that produce concentrated urine.

Therefore, both marine iguanas and sea turtles possess salt-secreting glands.
