Match the following nitrogenous wastes with their excretory mechanisms:

Ammonia = Ammonotelism Urea = Ureotelism Uric acid = Uricotelism Carbon dioxide = Diffusion across body surfaces

Match the following animals with their primary excretory mechanism:

Bony fishes, aquatic amphibians, aquatic insects = Ammonotelism Mammals, most adult amphibians, sharks, some marine bony fishes = Ureotelism Birds, land snails, insects, reptiles = Uricotelism All animals = Diffusion across body surfaces

Match the following nitrogenous wastes with their level of toxicity:

Ammonia = Most toxic Urea = Moderately toxic Uric acid = Least toxic Carbon dioxide = Non-toxic

Match the following excretory products with their primary excretory organ in mammals:
