Q. In liver, _____ is converted into______

UP CPMTUP CPMT 2015Digestion and Absorption

Solution:

Ammonia is an extremely toxic compound and its accumulation in body can be fatal. Thus, it needs to be converted into a less toxic substance called urea, which is then excreted out of the body in the form of urine. The production of urea from ammonia through a cycle of biochemical reactions is called urea cycle, which primarily takes place in liver of mammals.
