Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- Excretion is the process of removal of nitrogenous wastes from the body of an organism.
- Nitrogenous waste can be divided into three groups based on its toxicity.
- Ammonia – animals secreting ammonia are called Ammoneotelic
- Urea - animals secreting urea are called Ureotelic
- Uric acid - animals secreting uric acid are called Uricotelic
| Ammonia | Urea |
Uric Acid |
|
Highly toxic |
Moderate toxic |
Not very toxic |
|
Highly soluble |
Moderately soluble |
Very less soluble |
|
Excreted mainly by aquatic invertebrates, Osteichthyes(bony fishes and tadpole) |
Excreted by Chondrichthyes (Sharks and rays), terrestrial amphibians and mammals |
Excreted by insects, reptiles and all birds |
- Ammonia is a water-soluble highly toxic nitrogenous waste, and it requires plenty of water for its removal
- Frog’s Tadpole is aquatic and lives in water so, nitrogenous wastes are eliminated in the form of ammonia.
- Adult frog has an amphibian habitat so it requires a lower amount of water for its waste removal, so the waste is removed in the form of Urea.
