Question

What is the role of kidney in ammonotelic animals?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Organisms that primarily excrete ammonia are called ammonotelic; those that excrete urea, ureotelic; and those that excrete uric acid, uricotelic. ... Ammonia is a small molecule that readily diffuses across skin and gills if sufficient water is available, but the kidneys inefficiently excrete ammonia.

Answer 2

The organisms excreting ammonia are called ammonotelic organisms.

• ${NH}_{3}$ is highly toxic so it cannot be stored in body hence, these organisms excrete by diffusion.

→ Kidneys do not play an important role in its removal in ammonotelic animals.
