What converts ammonia to urea?
liver usually converts ammonia to urea
Is uric acid more toxic than urea?
yes
What chemical is made from ammonia that excreted in the urine?
Our liver converts ammonia into urea. This urea is excreted out in the urine.
Is ammonia nitrate the same as urea nitrate?
No. Ammonia and urea are distinct chemical compounds, as are their nitrates.
The sequencce of removing ammonia from the body is?
Ammonia is part of an amino group which is highly toxic thus cannot be allowed directly into the blood to travel from liver to kidney. It must first be converted into urea or uric acid a less toxic form. It can then travel to the kidney where it is filtered and then eliminated from the body. The term for breaking down the amino group to form ammonia is called deamination.
Is urea toxic?
Urea is used in fertilizers and is not considered toxic. Ammonia is toxic and is what converts readily to urea.
The advantage of excreting wastes as urea rather than as ammonia is that?
Urea is less toxic than ammonia.
The least toxic of nitrogenous wastes is?
Urea is the less toxic in nature among the nitrogenous wastes where as Ammonia is 100,000 times toxic than urea.
What is the product of the conversion of ammonia into a less toxic substance?
UREA
Does the liver convert toxic ammonia into harmless urea?
Yes.
A nitrogenous waste that is less toxic than ammonia?
Urea
Is there ammonia in the urine of German people?
No they do not. Humans does not contain ammonia in urine.
What is urea made of?
Urea is made in the body by the liver, it is a by product produced in the process of removing ammonia, Ammonia is extremely toxic for the human body. Urea is then excreted from the blood filtered through the kidneys.
Why do urea and ammonia levels increase after filtration occurs?
Urea and ammonia increase because water is reabsorbed from the nephron, making the urea more concentrated.
What is the organ that produces urea in our body?
The liver produces urea when it metabolises (breaks down) proteins. This is done in hepatocytes (liver cells). Amino acids are first broken down into ammonia, which is highly soluble and toxic in the blood plasma, so ammonia is joined with carbon dioxide to make urea, this is less soluble and less toxic but a build up of urea is toxic in the blood. Urea is then transported in the blood to be filtered out by the kidneys.
If human urine is allowed to stand for sometime it semelles strongly of ammonia . why?
Urea is a non-toxic molecule made of toxic ammonia and carbon dioxide that is found in Urine. Dehydration causes your urine to be more concentrated and may have a stronger smell than normal,
What happens if urea accumulates in the blood?
If urea accumulated in the blood, then you would probably die, because urea is technically a diluted version of ammonia, which is highly toxic.You would die because urea comes from the toxic nitrogenous waste in our body, and although less toxic, is still harmfull.
