all right. Different types of organisms get rid of waste through different compounds. All of these compounds are nitrogen based, and so they contain the element nitrogen. None of them are nitrogen by itself, though, so you can get rid of that answer immediately. Ah, lot of organisms that live in the water get rid of waste through ammonia. But organisms that live outside of the water have developed and evolved systems that are more complex that convert ammonia to different substances. So reptiles and birds and Arthur posit live on land convert ammonia to uric acid while mammals like humans converted to Yuria. And so, before getting rid of nitrogenous waste humans, I should say this way before getting rid of nitrogenous waste. Humans converted to your area, so that is your answer.
