Is uric acid more toxic than urea?
yes
What converts ammonia to urea?
liver usually converts ammonia to urea
Do kidneys convert ammonia to bicarbonate ion?
Converting ammonia to bicarbonate ion seems like something an alchemist would do. Kidneys (ours, at least) convert nitrogenous wastes (things like ammonia or compounds with an amine group attached - R-NH2) to urea, which is far less toxic than ammonia.
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 advantage of excreting wastes as urea rather than as ammonia is that?
Urea is less toxic than ammonia.
A nitrogenous waste that is less toxic than ammonia?
Urea
Is urea toxic?
Urea is used in fertilizers and is not considered toxic. Ammonia is toxic and is what converts readily to urea.
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.
Is there ammonia in the urine of German people?
No they do not. Humans does not contain ammonia in urine.
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,
Is uric acid more toxic than urea?
yes
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.
Where does urea cycle takes place?
ammonium ion, which is the end product of amino acid degradation, is toxic if allowed to accumulate. the urea cycle is a pathway that detoxifies the ammonium ions by converting it to urea - which is then transported to the kidneys to form urine... the function is to remove nitrogen waste from the body and avoid toxicity
