Solution

Nitrogenous waste:

  1. Excess nitrogen is excreted out of the body of the organism through nitrogenous wastes.
  2. They are formed as a result of protein metabolism.
  3. Urea is the main waste product removed from the urine, as it is not reabsorbed in the kidney.
  4. It is the end product excreted in urine by humans and other animals.
  5. Urea is produced in the liver when excess amino acids are broken down.
