Summary Introduction

To review:

The comparison between the types of nitrogenous wastes excreted by animals, and write the type of nitrogenous waste expected to be produced by embryos inside eggs laid on land.

Introduction:

Excretion is the process of eliminating the metabolic wastes, which is primarily carried out through organs like kidneys, skin, and lungs. One such waste is a nitrogenous waste. The main nitrogenous wastes excreted by the animals are urea, ammonia, and uric acid. These vary from one species to the other.
