Answer:

Excretion, the process by which animalsrid themselves of waste products and of the nitrogenous by-products of metabolism. Through excretionorganisms control osmotic pressure—the balance between inorganic ions and water—and maintain acid-base balance.

Explanation:

Animals

Diverse mechanisms have evolved that enable the various animal species to inhabit a wide range of environments. In animals whose bodies consist of a single layer of cells, waste disposal is accomplished principally by diffusion from the site of waste production to the outside environment. This method is efficient when the distances over which wastes diffuse are relatively short, when there is a high surface area to volume relationship, and when the rate of waste production is relatively low. In more complex animals, however, waste elimination by diffusion through the body wall to the exterior is less efficient because individual cells are farther removed from the exterior surface of the organism. The presence of specialized mechanisms of elimination in higher animals enables wastes to be rapidly transported to the exterior surface of the body (see below Vertebrate excretory systems).
