Explain the relationship between the amount of water in an animal’s environment and the kind of nitrogenous waste it produces.
Explain why freshwater fish should not drink water and why saltwater fish should to
maintain osmotic balance.
Production of any sort of nitrogenous waste other than ammonia costs energy. Name at least three distinctly different advantages an animal might gain by investing in production of urea or uric acid.
