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.
