The amino group of an amino acid contains the elements Nitrogen and Hydrogen. By itself, it is not toxic to cells. But after deamination where the amino group is removed from the amino acid, the amino group is then converted into ammonia. Ammonia is toxic to cells, and also contains Nitrogen and Hydrogen, but it has a different chemical formula from the amino group.

In animals nitrogenous waste are produced mostly from the catabolism of?
nitrogenous waste products are produced by animals. the nitrogenous waste products contain an amino group which remove an amino acid in the form of ammonia. the formation of ammonia from the amino acid is known as deamination which occurs in the liver. nitrogenous waste products can be removed in 3 forms ammonia uria and uric acid.
What is the toxic waste product produced by all cells?
Ammonia and CO2 are both toxic products of metabolism from within cells

What is cytotoxicity?
Cytotoxicity is the quality of being toxic to cells. Examples of toxic agents are an immune cell or some types of venom, e.g. from the puff adder or brown recluse spider.
What filters toxic substances out of the blood?
The kidney filters all toxic substances out of the blood and the toxic substances, as well as some excess water, is turned into waste. (and i think you know what "waste" is)
How does ciprofloxacin affect the host's cells?

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.
What is transamination and where does it happen?
TransaminationTransamination, taken literally, means the transfer of an amino group from one molecule to another. In many organisms, this process is used both to synthesize and to degrade amino acids. One of the primary cellular benefits of the reaction is that it allows the transfer of an amino group without the formation of ammonia, which is a toxic byproduct. In humans, transaminationtransaminationtransamination occurs primarily in the liver, and is also known as aminotransfer.
