Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "sediment" refers to the solid material that settles at the bottom of a liquid, typically due to gravity or chemical reactions. This can include particles, minerals, or other substances that are not soluble in the liquid, and is often a result of precipitation reactions or physical processes such as filtration. Neither urochrome, urea, nor uric acid typically form sediment in liquids.
