Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nitrogenous wastes such as ammonia, urea, and uric acid are formed from digestion of proteins and nucleic acids. These nitrogenous wastes become harmful or toxic if retained inside the body and hence they have to be eliminated with the help of the excretory system.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two types of nitrogenous waste are urea and uric acid. Urea is the byproduct of ammonia in mammals, whereas uric acid is the byproduct of ammonia in birds and reptiles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Urea is used as a preferred nitrogenous waste compared with ammonia at high ambient pNH3 or pH, with water restriction, or air breathing.
