Why os frogs tadpole ammonotelic annd adult frog ureotelic ? Answer please
Please find below the solution to the asked query
Ammonotelic are the organisms which excrete nitrogenous wastes in the form of ammonia while ureotelic animals excrete nitrogenous wastes in the form of urea.
Ammonia is more toxic than urea and needs lots of water to excrete from the body.
Tadpole lives in water. Hence, it can rapidly excrete ammonia due to availability of lots of water.
Adult frog lives mainly on land but lives in water also. Hence, they excrete urea which is less toxic than ammonia and release it in the form of concentrated urine with less need of water.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the tadpole and adult frog.
