- Animals remove waste and nitrogenous metabolic by-products through excretion.
- Through excretion, organisms maintain acid-base balance and control osmotic pressure (the equilibrium of inorganic ions and water).
- As a result, homeostasis (the stability of an organism's internal environment) is enhanced.
- Every thing, from the smallest protist to the largest mammal, has to get rid of the potentially hazardous by-products of its essential processes.
- Elimination is the process by which living organisms get rid of waste, harmful compounds, and dead portions of themselves.
