Osmoregulation and Excretion Animals


   
 
Nitrogenous Waste Materials
These form the principal excretory product. They are formed mainly as the end product of protein metabolism. Some wastes are generated by the metabolism of nucleic acids. The principal nitrogenous waste product varies in different animals.
 
The three main nitrogen containing waste materials excreted by animals are ammonia, urea and uric acid. Ammonia is the most toxic, followed by urea, and finally uric acid which is the least toxic.
