Vedclass · Answer

(A) Organisms are classified based on the type of nitrogenous waste they excrete.$1$. Ammonotelic organisms excrete ammonia,which is highly toxic and requires large amounts of water (e.g.,many bony fishes,aquatic amphibians).$2$. Ureotelic organisms excrete urea,which is less toxic than ammonia and requires moderate amounts of water (e.g.,mammals,terrestrial amphibians,and marine fishes).$3$. Uricotelic organisms excrete uric acid,which is the least toxic and requires minimal water for excretion (e.g.,reptiles,birds,land snails,and insects).Humans primarily excrete urea as their nitrogenous waste product,therefore,humans are ureotelic.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ Ureotelic	$(I)$ Bony fishes, aquatic amphibians and aquatic insects
$(b)$ Ammonotelic	$(II)$ Mammals, marine fishes
$(c)$ Uricotelic	$(III)$ Reptiles, birds, land snails and insects
