A large quantity of one of the following is removed from our body by lungs.

A

`CO_(2)` only

B

`H_(2)O` only

C

`CO_(2)` and `H_(2)O`

D

ammonia

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Our lungs remove large amounts of `CO_(2)` (18L/day) and also significant amount of water everyday.
While respiration, `CO_(2)` alone can not be eliminated from the body and the same holds true for `H_(2)O`. Ammonia is highly toxic, out is not found in free `NH_(3)^(+)` form, thus it is immediately converted to non-toxic form.
