On the basis of the type of nitrogenous end product, there are three
modes of excretion in animals. These are ammonotelism, ureotelism, and
uricotelism. Explain.
The bodily fluids of freshwater fish contain higher concentration of dissolved solids in their surroundings, so they tend to bloat (take in water) or lose electrolytes. How can freshwater fish avoid this? 1.) By drinking lots of water? 2.) By actively transporting ions out from the gills into the water? 3.) by excreting highly concentrated urine? 4.) by resorbing ions in nephrons
Compare and contrast the a.) organs/structure, b.) materials/substances, and c.) processes involved in fluid regulation and excretion of plants and animals.

- The advantage of excreting wastes as urea rather than as ammonia is that A)urea can be exchanged for Na+. B)less nitrogen is removed from the body. C)urea elimination does not affect the osmolar gradient. D)urea requires less water for excretion than ammonia.
