Urea formation in the liver

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The ornithine cycle,also known as the urea cycle,is a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the liver. In this cycle,ammonia $(NH_3)$,which is a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism,is converted into urea $(CO(NH_2)_2)$. Urea is less toxic than ammonia and is subsequently transported to the kidneys for excretion. Therefore,the ornithine cycle is essential for the detoxification of ammonia in the liver.
