Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct regarding excretory system of cockroach ?
- Excretion is performed by malphigian tubules.
- They absorb nitrogenous waste products and convert them into uric acid which is excreted out through hindgut. Hence, this insect called ammonetelic.
- In addition, fat body, nephrocytes and uricose glands also help in excretion.
