Answers
Answer:
Terrestrial snails and slugs excrete uric acid but may also excrete ammonia when living in moist surroundings.
Explanation:
Uricotelic organisms are those which excrete uric acid as the excretory product. These include land snails, reptiles and birds.
NEPHRIDIUM :-
The excretory system of gastropods removes nitrogenous waste and maintains the internal water balance of these creatures, commonly referred to as snails and slugs. The primary organ of excretion is a nephridium.
From the gastric pouch, waste enters the intestine and rectum on its way back out of the body. Land snails excrete the undigested parts of their food from the anal pore, located in the mantle, at the edge of the shell in shelled species. Snail excrement may appear as a tiny folded rope.
