Question

Name the excretory organs of grasshopper.

• A. Malphigian tubule
• B. Nephridia
• C. Flame cells
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Malphigian tubule

The excretory organs of grasshopper are the malpighian tubules which are coiled about in the haemocoel and open into the anterior end of the hindgut. The malpighian tubules have a wall of a single layer of cells with striated inner border. Their free ends are completely closed. In the majority of Arthropods, Malpighian tubules are the excretory organs. So, the correct option is 'Malpighian tubule'.
