What organ other than the kidneys play an important role in excretion?
Liver, lungs and skin are other organs of excretion.
What is the primary organ of excretion called?
While not considered part of the endocrine system, the liver produces more hormones than any other organ in the body. As a side note the liver performs 500 different functions including hormone production.
What is the advantage of ammonotelic excretion over uricotelic excretion?
The advantage is that ammonia (NH3) is not converted in Ammonotelic excretion. Fish can excrete ammonia through gills because there is a lot of water to dilute it in without causing damage to their cells. In Uricotelic excretion, NH3 has to be converted to a solid form via a complex and ATP-costly route. So Uricotelic excretion takes a lot more energy than Ammonotelic excretion.
Why does one kidney sit higher up than the other?

Why do many kidney transplants fail?
Kidney's require more complex matching than other organs; for kidneys you must match tissue as well as compatible blood type. Kidneys also require higher dosages of immunosuppression than other transplanted organs (they reject easily). Obviously, the transplanted kidney also has to cope with filtering out all the immunosuppression; this puts additional stress on the kidney, which shortens the grafts lifespan.
