Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uric acid is the nitrogenous waste that requires hardly any water for its excretion. It is produced by birds, insects, and reptiles, and is excreted as a semi-solid or solid urate. This is advantageous in environments with limited access to water as the excretion of uric acid results in minimal water loss. In contrast, ammonia requires a lot of water for its excretion and urea requires moderate amounts of water.
