Definition along with explanation-
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. It can be stored in cells and body tissues without toxic effects and thus needs the least water and is a highly efficient mode of excretion in comparison to two other methods.
Example
Ureotelic organisms include cartilaginous fish, few bony fishes, adult amphibians and mammals including humans.
