Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ammonia is produced from leftover amino acids, and it must be removed from the body. The liver produces several chemicals (enzymes) that change ammonia into a form called urea, which the body can remove in the urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Deamination of amino acids is mainly done by liver (separation of amino group of amino acid and its conversion to ammonia). Preparation of urea from the amino acids is done by the liver. Liver converts ammonia (obtained from deamination) into urea through ornithine cycle.
