Question
“Kidneys are the master chemist of the body”. Comment.
Solution
The kidneys purify the blood by excreting toxic and waste products from the blood. They maintain the proper concentration of salts in the body and also regulate the proper amount of water in the body. In this way the kidneys eliminate only the wastes and extra substances from the body. Hence, we can say that kidneys are the master chemist of the body.
