Animals excrete waste in different forms:
-
Ammonia (Ammonotelic animals) – Highly toxic, requires large amounts of water (e.g., fish, amphibians).
-
Urea (Ureotelic animals) – Less toxic, requires moderate water (e.g., mammals, amphibians).
-
Uric Acid (Uricotelic animals) – Least toxic, excreted as a paste to conserve water (e.g., birds, reptiles).
