Endotherms, such as birds and mammals, use metabolic heat to maintain a stable internal temperature, often one different from the environment. Ectotherms, like lizards and snakes, do not use metabolic heat to maintain their body temperature but take on the temperature of the environment.

The advantage of excreting nitrogenous wastes as urea instead of ammonia is that:________ a) urea requires more water for excret
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Ammonia is so toxic that it can be transported and excreted only in large volumes of very dilute solution. As a result most terrestrial animals simply don't have access to sufficient water to routine excrete ammonia.

The main advantage of urea is its very low toxicity. Animals can transport urea in the circulatory system and store it safely in high concentrations. Also much less water is loss when a given quantity of nitrogen is excreted in a concentrated solution of urea than would be in a dilute solution of ammonia.
