The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct classification of humans based on the type of nitrogenous waste they excrete, we need to analyze the terms provided in the question: Ammonotallic, Ureotallic, and Uricotallic. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nitrogenous Waste**: - Nitrogenous waste refers to the waste products that result from the metabolism of proteins and nucleic acids. The main forms of nitrogenous waste are ammonia, urea, and uric acid. 2. **Definitions of Terms**: - **Ammonotallic**: Organisms that excrete ammonia as their primary nitrogenous waste. Ammonia is highly toxic and requires a large amount of water for its excretion. - **Ureotallic**: Organisms that excrete urea as their primary nitrogenous waste. Urea is less toxic than ammonia and requires less water for excretion. - **Uricotallic**: Organisms that excrete uric acid as their primary nitrogenous waste. Uric acid is the least toxic and conserves water, making it suitable for organisms in arid environments. 3. **Examples of Organisms**: - **Ammonotelic**: Examples include bony fishes, aquatic amphibians, and aquatic insects. - **Ureotelic**: Examples include mammals, such as humans. - **Uricotelic**: Examples include birds, reptiles, and snails. 4. **Classification of Humans**: - Since humans are mammals and primarily excrete urea as their nitrogenous waste, they fall under the category of ureotelic organisms. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Man is" is **Ureotallic**. ### Final Answer: Man is **Ureotallic**.
