How do tunicates eliminate nitrogenous wastes from their bodies?

Tunicates are invertebrate marine animals. These animals have very simplistic or lack an excretory systems and must eliminate nitrogenous waste through the diffusion of ammonia through their tissues. A sea squirt is a tunicate.


What waste excretion problem is shared by invertebrates and vertebrates?

Vertebrates have the same waste-disposal problems as invertebrates. They must deal with the very toxic ammonia their bodies produce, and most vertebrates must expel wastes while conserving water.


Why do desert animals have an excretory system?

What form must nitrogen be in to be used by living organisms?

Nitrogen must be in the form of ammonia (NH3), nitrate (NO3−), or nitrite (NO2−) to be used by living organisms. These forms are essential for synthesizing amino acids and nucleotides, which are critical for proteins and genetic material. Plants typically absorb nitrate and ammonium from the soil, while animals acquire nitrogen by consuming plants or other animals.


Is ammonia organic?

In the sense of the ammonia molecule itself, no it is not an organic molecule, you must have C-H bonds to be considered organic. NH3 (ammonia) however is involved in organic chemistry as a reactant or product. Nitrogen is a vital component to life, NH3 can be produced by nitrogen fixing bacteria; part od the nitrogen cycle. This can then be taken up by plants to stimulate growth. Plants are taken up by animals including humans to help our growth. So yes ammonia is needed for life and in this biological sense it is 'organic'.


What is the difference between anhydrous ammonia and aqua ammonia?

Anhydrous ammonia is standard, commercial grade ammonia. The term "anhydrous ammonia" emphasizes the absence of water in the material. Because ammonia boils at -33.34 °C, the liquid must be stored under high pressure or at low temperature. Aqua ammonia is another name for ammonium hydroxide, a solution of ammonia in water. This is the household ammonia offered in stores and used in some cleaning products.
