Why might hummingbirds have to excrete large amounts of water? How is this related to their
metabolic rate? Also please carefully read the text in the gray box. Translate this passage into
plain language (e.g. how would you explain it to a non-scientific friend). (
Solution
Hummingbirds excrete large amount of water because they intake large amount of liquid as
nectar. Their kidneys are specially modified to excrete large amount of water. The electrolytes
like Na+ and K+ are reabsorbed in the kidney and are excreted in less amounts in urine.
