Question

Answer

The least toxic form among the excretory products in animals is uric acid.

Explanation:
• Animals excrete waste products that are formed during metabolic processes.
• The excretory products are mainly classified into three types: ammonia, urea, and uric acid.
• Ammonia is highly toxic and water-soluble. It is excreted by aquatic animals, but not by terrestrial animals because of its toxicity.
• Urea is less toxic than ammonia and water-soluble. It is excreted by most terrestrial animals, including humans.
• Uric acid is the least toxic form among the three. It is insoluble in water and is excreted in the form of a paste or a solid.
• Uric acid is the excretory product of birds, reptiles, and insects. It is also excreted by some other animals, such as snails and spiders.
• Uric acid is less toxic than ammonia and urea because it requires less water for its excretion.
• The excretion of uric acid conserves water, which is essential for survival in arid environments.
• In humans, excess uric acid can lead to gout, a painful condition caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints.

Therefore, uric acid is the least toxic form among the excretory products in animals.

Answer

It is leat toxic than others, it contains 4nitrogen atom
it gives small amount of water for excretion out of solute, it's precipitate and forms crystal

other given options

Answer

No uric acid is least toxic then other in this less water is needed to excrete it and it is generally ex rectory product in birds and reptiles

Answer

Uric acid is the least toxic ions. Insects, land tortoises, lizards and birds change most of their nitrogenous waste into uric acid. It is the least toxic because it is insoluble in water as there are in solid form, thus, contains the/least water. In birds, uric acid mixes with undigested food to form the bird dropping. Urea moves to blood get filtered and eliminated with water in urine via kidneys. Ammonia is very toxic and needs water for diffusion. Carbon dioxide excretion takes place through the lungs.
