No. The bladder is just a container before it makes its exit. The production and filtering of sorts of the urine is done in kidneys and it's "tubes"

Their question was almost certainly about the mixing with oxygen causing it to turn yellow. Not even sure what question you think you're answering

Bingo. I feel like I'm able to detect a yellowish tint in my urine stream if I'm dehydrated. Maybe I'm mistaken... but am I?
