Solution

Nitrogen waste:

  1. Excess nitrogen is excreted out of the body of the organism through nitrogenous wastes.
  2. Ammonia, urea, and uric acid are common waste products.
  3. The excretory machines include the kidneys, ureters, a urinary bladder, and urethra.
  4. Removes salt and urea along with water.

Urea excretion:

  1. Each kidney carries over a million microscopic filtering devices known as nephrons.
  2. Each nephron is fabricated from a tubule and is responsible for cleaning the blood with the aid of using casting off urea and extra water and mineral ions.
