    Ureotelic organisms excrete excess nitrogen as urea rather than ammonia or uric acid. Urea is less toxic than ammonia and requires less water to excrete the same amount of nitrogen. Ureotelic organisms include cartilaginous fish, some bony fish, adult amphibians, mammals, and humans.

    Ureotelic
    A ureotelic organism excretes excess nitrogen as urea. It is one of the three major forms of excretion of nitrogenous
    waste in organisms, the others being ammonotelism and uricotelism. [1]
    Urea is less toxic than the ammonia excreted by ammonotelic organisms. It requires 0.05 L of water to excrete 1 g of
    nitrogen, approximately only 10% of that required in ammonotelic organisms. Ureotelic organisms include
    cartilaginous fish, some bony fish, adult amphibians, and mammals, among others. [1] Humans can be described as
    being ureotelic organisms. [2]
