Answer:
Urea is less toxic than ammonia, so it can stay in the body a little longer and takes less water to flush out. But, it also requires more energy to produce. The third major form of nitrogenous waste is uric acid, a nitrogenous molecule with four nitrogen atoms.

Factors responsible for the production of nitrogenous wastes in organisms
Explanation:
Many organisms consume foods that are rich in proteins. These proteins are composed of macro-molecules known as amino acids.
Whenever an amino acid is metabolized in an organism, It leads to the production of nitrogen rich waste materials. Urea and uric acid are two common nitrogenous wastes produced in organisms.
These nitrogenous wastes tend to form ammonia in the body which is toxic and are therefore excreted.
