Earthworms are -

  1. Uricotelic when plenty of water is available
  2. Ammonotelic when plenty of water is available
  3. Ureotelic when plenty of water is available
  4. Uricotelic under conditions of water scarcity

Answer

(2) Ammonotelic when plenty of water is available

Solution

As per NCERT, excretion of ammonia (ammonotelism) needs a large amount of water, because ammonia is highly toxic and very soluble.

⇒ Earthworms excrete through nephridia; when plenty of water is available they excrete mainly ammonia (ammonotelic).

⇒ Under water scarcity they switch mainly to urea (ureotelic), not uric acid.

∴ Earthworms are ammonotelic when plenty of water is available.
