Question

What. Are the ammoniatelic ana ureotelic animals

Answer 1

ammonotelic organisms secrete ammonia out of their body
ureotelic excrete out urea from.their body

Answer 2

Ammonotelic animals

• An ammonotelic organism excretes nitrogenous waste as soluble ammonia.
• Ammonia the product or waste formed is highly toxic.
• Highly-soluble, therefore needs plenty of water for its excretion

Example

• Most of the aquatic animals including protozoans, crustaceans, platyhelminths, cnidarians, poriferans, echinoderms, fishes, larvae/tadpoles of amphibians are ammonotelic.

Ureotelic animals

• A ureotelic organism excretes excess nitrogen as urea.
• Urea is less toxic and needs less water in comparison to Ammonia.
• The uricotelic organism excretes uric acid or its salts. In contrast to Ammonia and Urea, Uric acid is the least toxic and the most limited soluble in water.

Example

• Ureotelic organisms include cartilaginous fish, few bony fishes, adult amphibians and mammals including humans.
