The salt secreting glands are absent in ____.

Options

  1. AAlbatross birds
  2. BSea turtles
  3. CSea clams
  4. DMarine iguanas

Correct answer

C. Sea clams

Step-by-step solution

Salt secreting glands are specialized organs found in many marine vertebrates to excrete excess salt from their bodies, allowing them to drink seawater.

Albatross birds possess salt glands located above their eyes.

Sea turtles have modified lachrymal glands near their eyes to excrete salt.

Marine iguanas have salt glands located in their snouts, which they use to sneeze out excess salt.

Sea clams are marine invertebrates (bivalve molluscs) and are osmoconformers. Their internal body fluids are isotonic with the surrounding seawater, so they do not require and do not possess specialized salt secreting glands.
