Animal Physiology
Ammonotelism is the process by which certain animals excrete nitrogenous waste primarily in the form of ammonia. This form of nitrogen excretion is efficient for aquatic organisms, as ammonia is highly soluble in water and can be easily diluted. This method allows these animals to eliminate toxic waste quickly and effectively while minimizing the energy cost associated with waste management.
congrats on reading the definition of ammonotelism. now let's actually learn it.
