Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices are waste products in vertebrates. Ammonia is produced from the breakdown of amino acids and is toxic to the body. It is converted into urea by the liver and excreted in urine. Uric acid is also a byproduct of protein metabolism and is excreted in the urine of birds and reptiles, and in the form of solid waste in insects and some mammals. Urea is the primary nitrogenous waste product in mammals and is excreted in urine.
