Solution

The correct option is B False
Ammonotelic organisms are those which excrete out ammonia as their major excretory substance and as ammonia is very toxic and usually is excreted directly by marine animals. Terrestrial animals usually need to conserve water. So in them, ammonia is converted to urea, a compound the body can tolerate at higher concentrations than ammonia.
So, the correct answer is 'False'.
