Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which saves water. 
Nitrogenous waste in the body tend to form toxic ammonia, which must be excreted. Mammals such as human excrete urea, while birds, reptiles, and some terrestrial invertebrates produce uric acid as waste in the form of a white paste or power. The production of uric acid involves a complex metabolic pathway that  is energetically costly in comparison to processing of other nitrogenous wastes such as urea or ammonia, it has the advantages of reducing water loss and, hence, reducing the need for water.

NOT BIOLOGY ITS PHYSICAL SCIENCE how are the allotropes of carbon similar and how are they different?
Rashid [163]

Allotropes of carbon includes substances such as graphite, diamond or buckminsterfullerene.



They’re all similar in the thing that they’re all made out of carbon only.


However, their structure is different, such as graphite has a layer structure, diamond has a tetrahedral structure, and buckminsterfullerene has a spherical structure.  



Since they have different structures, they have different physical properties too. For example, diamond is hard because all the carbon atoms in the structure is held together by strong covalent bonds, while graphite are graphene layers that are held by weak intermolecular forces which makes the layers slide over each other easily thus making graphite soft.
