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 are essential amino acids converted to non essential amino acids?
In the liver
What happens to amino acids inside liver cells?
amino acids are, broken down / converted, to urea
What is in humans the organ that breaks down red blood cells and deaminates amino acids?
The Liver breaks down red blood cells and deaminates amino acids.
When amino acids are degraded for energy the amine group is converted to by the?
urea, liver

When does protein catabolism usually occur?
Protein catabolism is the breakdown of the proteins into the amino acids which are the basic constituents of the protein. In digestion process the proteins get converted into amino acids and used for the repair and building process of cells. The excess of amino acid get converted into fat and sugar and get stored into liver. Due to illness or prolonged starvation when the body does not get adequate energy, this excess of amino acid in the form of fats or sugar get breakdown and provides energy.
What substance does liver change into urea?
Urea is produced in the liver and is a metabolite of amino acids. Excess ammonium ions are also converted to urea.
What does the body do with excess amino acids?
Deamination occurs. An amine group is removed from the amino acids, making ammonia. This ammonia is then converted to urea in the ornithine cycle. Search for 'deamination' on Wikipedia. That should cover it :)
Where are essential amino acids converted to non essential amino acids?
In the liver
After the proteins have been broken down into amino acids where do the amino acids go?
The Liver.
Are there amino acids in the liver?
Yes there is.
What does the liver do with amino acids?
storge
What happens to amino acids inside liver cells?

What will most likely happen to wastes containing nitrogen produced as a result of the breakdown of amino acids within liver cells of a mammal?
They will be removed by the excretory system.

Does the liver make protein?
It creates amino acids which collects mrkhthen the amino acids brake and makes proteins
