4 0
Nitrogenous waste of the body are excreted by organisms of different species differently. Others, such as the mammals excrete it in a form of urea while other in a form of ammonia. Still others, excretes it in a form of uric acid. The latter group of organisms being referred to are the BIRDS and REPTILES. 

This organisms found to excrete the nitrogen as urea are called as uricothelic organisms and excrete white powder or paste. The process of conversion of ammonia to uric acid needs a lot of energy or energy intensive, however; it is less toxic and reduces need for water.
