Urea is synthesised in the liver, from the oxidation of amino acids and/or ammonia. Look up "urea cycle" for details about this process. It is then transported (in the blood) to the kidneys and excreted to the bladder, and exits the body with the urine.

Are amino acids components of urea?
No, amino acids are not components of urea. Urea is a waste product that is formed from the breakdown of proteins in the liver. Amino acids, on the other hand, are the building blocks of proteins.
Do bacteria excrete urea?
Yes they do. Many organisms including mammals, fish, fungi and microorganisms do excrete urea.
What is a nitrogenous waste for chicken?
uric acid, mammals do it in the form of urea, this process is to ensure that little water is lost
Urease hydrolyzes urea to form what?
Urease breaks down the compound urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide.
What organs make urea?
All cells make urea, it is a waste product. The urea is processed by the kidneys (reabsorbing most of the water) then transfered by the ureters to the urinary bladder.
Are amino acids components of urea?
No, amino acids are not components of urea. Urea is a waste product that is formed from the breakdown of proteins in the liver. Amino acids, on the other hand, are the building blocks of proteins.
Where is urea formed in mammals?
in the liver
What is the principle nitrogenous waste in mammals?
Urea
Which organ is responsible for removing nitrogenous waste such as urea?
They kidneys get rid of the urea produced by the liver. The skin also excretes a small amount of urea in the sweat.
Do bacteria excrete urea?

What are the main components found in urine?
Urea and Salts
How does urea form in human?
urea is a liquid in pee.
What is the function of the urea?
Urea is a form of chemical waste in mammals including humans that forms into urine. Urea is produced when the body breaks down proteins and amino acids and its liquid form can be combined with ammonia and carbon dioxide to be used in fertilizers and some medications.
What is a nitrogenous waste for chicken?

What are three main components of urine?
Urea,creatinine and uric acid
Which two major components of normal human urine?
Urea and Water.
What do birds excrete nitrogenous waste mostly in the form of?
Unlike mammals (which create urea) birds turn nitrogenous wastes into uric acid.This conserves water - as uric acid can be excreted as the thick white substance which is familiar in bird droppings. For mammals, urine consists of urea dissolved in water.
