Vedclass · Answer

(B) $1$. Ammonotelism is the process of excreting ammonia. This is a correct statement.$2$. Ammonia is highly soluble in water and is excreted by diffusion across body surfaces or gill surfaces as ammonium ions,not by active transport. Therefore,the statement claiming it is excreted by 'active transport' is incorrect.$3$. Bony fishes,aquatic amphibians,and aquatic insects are indeed ammonotelic. This is a correct statement.$4$. Since ammonia is highly toxic and requires large amounts of water for its elimination,it is excreted through body surfaces or gills,and kidneys play a negligible role in its removal. This is a correct statement.Thus,option $B$ is the incorrect statement.
