The correct Answer is:
To determine the nitrogenous waste excretion method of frogs, we can analyze the options provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ureotelic Organisms**: - Ureotelic organisms are those that excrete urea as their primary nitrogenous waste. Urea is less toxic than ammonia and requires less water for excretion. - Examples of ureotelic organisms include adult amphibians (like frogs), mammals, and some cartilaginous fishes. 2. **Understanding Uricotelic Organisms**: - Uricotelic organisms excrete uric acid as their nitrogenous waste. Uric acid is the least toxic of the nitrogenous wastes and requires minimal water for its removal. - Birds and reptiles are common examples of uricotelic organisms. 3. **Understanding Ammonotelic Organisms**: - Ammonotelic organisms excrete ammonia as their nitrogenous waste. Ammonia is highly toxic and requires a large amount of water for its excretion. - Most aquatic animals, including many fish and the larvae of amphibians, are ammonotelic. 4. **Identifying the Correct Option for Frogs**: - Frogs, as adult amphibians, primarily excrete urea, which categorizes them as ureotelic. - While their larvae (tadpoles) are ammonotelic, the adult frogs transition to ureotelism. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and examples discussed, the correct answer is that frogs are **ureotelic**. ### Final Answer: Frog is **Ureotelic**. ---
