Breaking Down the Problem

1. Identify the animals listed in the options: Birds, Reptiles, Adult amphibians, Mammals.
2. Determine the method of nitrogenous waste excretion for each group.
3. Select the animals that convert ammonia to urea.

Relevant Concepts

• Ammonia is a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism.
• Animals convert ammonia to less toxic substances to excrete:
  • Some convert ammonia directly to uric acid (e.g., birds, reptiles).
  • Others convert ammonia to urea (e.g., mammals, adult amphibians).

Analysis and Detail

1. Birds: Excrete uric acid, not urea.
2. Reptiles: Also primarily excrete uric acid, not urea.
3. Adult amphibians: Convert ammonia to urea before excreting.
4. Mammals: Convert ammonia to urea as their primary excretion method.

Verify and Summarize

• Birds and reptiles excrete uric acid.
• Adult amphibians and mammals convert and excrete urea.

Final Answer

The animals that convert ammonia to urea include Adult amphibians and Mammals.
