a.
To predict: Which organisms produce more nitrogenous wastes—an endotherm or an ectotherm.
Introduction: The metabolic wastes that contain nitrogen are known as nitrogenous waste. For example, urea and uric acid are nitrogenous waste products in terrestrial animals. The endotherms are those organisms that can maintain a constant body temperature through heat generated by its own
b.
To predict: Which organisms produce more nitrogenous wastes—a carnivore or a herbivore.
Introduction: The metabolic wastes that contain nitrogen are known as nitrogenous waste. For example, urea and uric acid are nitrogenous waste products in terrestrial animals. The endotherms are those organisms that can maintain a constant body temperature through heat generated by its own metabolism. The ectotherms are those animals that maintain their constant body temperature by gaining heat from the surroundings or external environment. Their body temperature can vary depending upon the environment in which it is present.
