Question #3
Which of the following nitrogenous wastes is the most toxic?
A. Urea
B. Ammonia
C. Uric acid
D. Creatinine

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ammonia (NH₃) is highly toxic and requires large volumes of water for its excretion; hence it is produced by aquatic animals. Urea is less toxic, uric acid least toxic and water-insoluble. Creatinine is a minor waste. Ammonia is converted to urea in the liver via the urea cycle in ureotelic organisms.
