What is ammonotelism?

Answer 1

Ammonotelism is a form of nitrogen excretion in which organisms excrete ammonia directly into the environment. This process is typical of many aquatic animals, such as fish and amphibian larvae, because ammonia is highly toxic but soluble in water, allowing it to be easily diluted and expelled. Ammonotelic organisms usually have access to abundant water, which facilitates this mode of excretion. This method is efficient for rapidly removing nitrogenous waste, especially in environments where ammonia can be quickly diffused away.
