UP CPMTUP CPMT 2000
Solution:
Animals which excrete their nitrogeneous waste as uric acid are uricotelic. Uric acid is almost insoluble in water. It is an adaptive mechanism in animals surviving under water deficient conditions. Eg; snakes, lizards, a few mammals (desert rodents), embryonic and adult birds, terrestrial gastropods and insects.
