  1. The abnormal constituent of urine is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    The tests employed to detect commonly present abnormal constituents are proteins, glucose, ketone bodies, bile pigments, bile salts and blood. The liver synthesizes a type of protein known as albumin. Urine should not contain albumin, as protein molecules are large and so easily get trapped in the kidney's filters and finally they are reabsorbed in the blood stream.

    Correct Option: C

    Enzymes are proteins that act as a catalyst, lowering the activation energy of a reaction, therefore dramatically increasing the rate of the reaction. Like all proteins, enzymes are long, linear chains of amino acids that fold to produce a three-dimensional product which determines their specific activities.
