Solution
Humans:
Humans are vertebrates that belong to the class Mammalia.
Ammonotelic organisms excrete soluble ammonia as nitrogenous waste. Large amounts of water are required to excrete this toxic waste.
Example: crustaceans, bony fishes.
Humans are not ammonotelic. They excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of urea; hence called ureotelic.
Water is not required in high amounts as compared to ammonotelic organisms.
