Aquatic animals excrete nitrogenous waste commonly in the form of_____________?
Correct answer: A. Ammonia
- A. Ammonia
- B. Urea
- C. Uric acid
- D. Trimethylamine oxide
Explanation
Aquatic animals commonly excrete ammonia because it is highly toxic but can be rapidly diluted and removed in abundant water. Students may choose urea because it is a common nitrogenous waste in mammals, but urea formation is more useful where water conservation is necessary.
