Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Animals that excrete ammonia are typically aquatic, as ammonia is highly toxic and can only be tolerated in low concentrations. These animals will have respiratory structures called gills, through which the ammonia waste diffuses. Terrestrial animals, on the other hand, typically excrete urea or uric acid and have respiratory structures such as lungs or skin extensions.
