Question

Distinguish among ammonotelic, ureotelic and uricotelic with examples

Answer 1

AMMONOTELIC ANIMALS :

                              The organisms whose excreted waste consists of AMMONIA is called as ammonotelic organisms.As ammonia rapidly reacts in water the excretion is composed of both water and ammonia.Here a large amount of water is excreted.

                            EXAMPLE: fishes.

UREOTELIC ANIMALS:

                     The organisms whose excreted waste consists of  UREA is called as ureotelic organisms.Here  the excretion of water as a waste is minimised.

                       EXAMPLE: humans.

URICOTELIC ANIMALS:

                The organisms whose excreted waste consists  of URIC ACID is called as uricotelic organisms.Here the excreted waste is maximumly a solid excreta.

                 EXAMPLE: birds.
