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?

homeostasis is maintaining balance within a system, as you can see this in cells. this helps them conserve as much water as possible, they do this by converting their waste to a solid, since it doesn't require water to excrete.
