Proteins are broken down in the liver to produce urea as a waste product of protein metabolism.
No, hemoglobin does not break down into urea in the intestines. Hemoglobin is broken down by macrophages in the liver and spleen into heme and globin, which are further processed into bilirubin and amino acids, respectively. Urea is formed in the liver as a byproduct of protein metabolism and is excreted in the urine by the kidneys.
Urea results from the metabolism of protein in the liver. Amino acids are broken down during protein metabolism, and the waste product urea is formed as a way to eliminate excess nitrogen from the body.
They are broken down into urea then carried via blood to the kidneys and the excreted as urine
Urea is the substance derived from protein metabolism that is removed from the blood in the kidneys and excreted in urine.
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.
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.
when your liver assimilates proteins the excess is broken down into urea which is then excreted in urine.

No. Kidneys produce urea, not the udder.
Most of it broken down to urea (in kidney) by urination
Sharks produce Ureic acid not urea.
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.

No, urea is not a sublime substance. Sublimation is the process where a solid directly turns into a gas without going through the liquid phase. Urea undergoes decomposition when heated, releasing ammonia gas and leaving behind a residue.
Urea is a byproduct of urine. All animals produce urea in their urine, not just cows.
