What would the morphology of an ammonia based organism be like?

i think you are asking to compare the excretory systems of mammals, birds and fish since these groups excrete their nitrogen waste products through different mechanisms and different but related compounds. yes?

i belive ammonia based life form is not possible ......................... there are some basic criteria for becoming crucial part of life and ammonia dont follow it

I was hoping for a little bit of speculation, i guess biologists just dont have the imagination. My question was literal and meant to be interpreted as it was written.

Something like this i suppose, http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs12/i/2006/267/9/b/Yellow_Blob_by_Angrysmack.jpg ... I wouldn't want to share a confined space with it. If theres a arsenic based lifeform, why not a ammonia based. (Given it probably doesn't exist on this planet) Oh for the Aresenic based lifeform -> http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2010/12/01/science.1197258
