### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Basic Nitrogenous Catabolite of Proteins in Whales**: - The primary nitrogenous waste product resulting from protein metabolism in whales is **urea**. Whales, like many mammals, convert ammonia (a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism) into urea, which is less toxic and can be excreted safely. 2. **Form of Elimination from the Body**: - Urea is eliminated from the body primarily through **urine**. Whales, being ureotelic animals, excrete urea along with water, which helps in diluting the urea to prevent toxicity. ...
