What happens to amino acids inside the liver?
They are broken down into urea then carried via blood to the kidneys and the excreted as urine
What happens to amino acids inside liver cells?
amino acids are, broken down / converted, to urea
What substance has the lowest re-absorption rate?
Urea
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.
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.

Is urea a sublime substance?
Urea is not a sublime substance.
Why is the waste UREA made in your body?
when your liver assimilates proteins the excess is broken down into urea which is then excreted in urine.
What organ are excess amino acids broken down to urea?
kidney
Why does the liver produce urea?
Urea serves an important role in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds by animals and is the main nitrogen-containing substance in the urine of mammals.

Can milk produce urea?
No. Kidneys produce urea, not the udder.
Why do catilaginous fish produce urea?
Sharks produce Ureic acid not urea.
Once nitrogen is in humans how is it returned to the environment?
Most of it broken down to urea (in kidney) by urination
What causes the obnoxious odor that sharks exude soon after they die?
The odor that sharks release after death is ammonia. It is caused when the organic compound that is found in sharks and known as urea is broken down. The urea is broken down into ammonia and therefore, the pungent smell of ammonia will be in the area.

Urease?
breaks down urea to produce ammonia, which neutralizes stomach acid in the immediate environment
