Question
reptiles and birds excrete waste as an insoluble white solid that is called uric acid. how does this help them to maintain internal homeostasis in hot climates? by retaining water by conserving energy by reducing body temperature by maintaining heart rate
Reptiles and birds excrete uric acid as it requires less water for excretion compared to other nitrogen - containing wastes. In hot climates, water conservation is crucial for maintaining internal homeostasis. By producing insoluble uric acid, they minimize water loss during waste excretion.
