Ammonotelism :
(i) Excretory waste is ammonia (NH3).
(ii) It is characteristic of aquatic animals such as protozoans, sponges, coelenterates, crustaceans,bony fishes and
echinoderms etc.
(iii) Excess of water is required to eliminate ammonia. It is highly toxic.
Uricotelism :
1.Excretory waste is uric acid.
2.It 4 is characteristic of terrestrial reptiles and insects. All the birds are uricotelic.
3.Much less water is needed. Uric acid is least toxic.

Ammonotelism
1)Chief nitrogenous waste in ammonia
2)Solubility:Easily dissolves in liver cells by deamination of amino acid
3)Ammonia is formed by deamination of amino acid in liver cells
4)Ammonia is very toxic
Uricotelism
1)Chief nitrogenous waste in uric acid
2)It is almost insoluble in water
3)Potassium ureate reacts with water and carbon dioxide to form uric acid
4)Uric acid has very low toxicity
