an animal x is found in desert. What will be the main excretory product by the animal
Answers
Answer:
Ureotelism is a type of excretion where urea is the main nitrogenous waste material. Animals showing ureotelism are called ureotelic animals. Generally found in land animals which can afford to excrete sufficient volume of water or to concentrate urea in considerable quantity in the urine. It is commonly found in man, whales, dog, seals, desert mammals like kangaroo rats, camels, toads, frogs, cartilaginous fishes, aquatic and semi-aquatic reptiles like alligator, terrapins and turtles. In the liver of the animals, ammonia is detoxified to form urea by the ornithine cycle. Urea is far less toxic than ammonia and so can remain inside the body for a longer period without causing any ill effects inside the body. Cockroach, camel and lizard, amoeba, ant and antelope, fowl, fish and frog do not produce the same substance as their chief excretory product. Thus, option B is correct and other options are wrong.
