• Mammals including humans, most adult amphibians living on land and many
marine fish and turtles, which face the problem of conserving water in their
hypertonic environment, are ureotelic (excrete urea). Urea is produced in liver by
a ...

Llreotelic Si/stem In ureotelic amphibians, turtles, mammals, and a few
invertebrates, ammonia generated intramitochondrially is converted to urea for
excretion. In mammals, urea has a special role in the kidney's ability to form a
hypertonic ...

Nitrogen Metabolism and Excretion
Birds and reptiles primarily excrete uric acid whereas mammals are ureotelic,
urea being the end product of protein metabolism. The realization that
ammonotelism is incompatible with a terrestrial existence led to the recognition of
the ...

New Insights in Vertebrate Kidney Function
The pattern of normal adult nitrogen excretion therefore fits closely that predicted
from their habitats, with aquatic species being ammonotelic, terrestrial (including
desert) species ureotelic and only a few arboreal species from seasonally arid ...

ENERGETICS OF OSMOTIC REGULATION IN UREOTELIC AND
HYPOOSMOTIC FISHES Kirschner (1993) reviewed the major mechanisms of
urea turnover and of active ion transport in osmoregulatory organs. The energetic
cost of osmotic ...

Arginase (EC 3.5.3.1): a highly active and specific liver enzyme which catalyses a
reaction in the urea cycle (L-arginine + H2O - > L-ornithine + urea) in ureotelic
animals. In terrestrial uroteles. such as mammals, frogs and swamp turtles.

Such species are said to be, respectively, ureotelic and uricotelic. There are no
clear phyletic distinctions as to which groups of vertebrates utilize a particular
process for nitrogen excretion nor are they mutually exclusive. Ammonotelic fish ...

Comparative Animal Biochemistry
The predominant end products of amino acid degradation are ammonia (
ammonio- telic), urea (ureotelic) and uric acid (uricotelic). The pathway preferred
during evolution depended upon the habitat of the animal. Primarily aquatic
vertebrates ...
1.6.2. Ureotelic. species. When water is not a problem, the main end product of
nitrogen metabolism is urea, which is readily soluble. Urea synthesis is also
important in the regulation of blood osmolarity. If Xenopus is subjected to an
osmotic ...

Arts. Animals categorized on the basis of their nitrogenous waste products are: (i)
Ammonotelic animals, which excrete nitrogenous wastes as ammonia, (ii)
