a harmful substance formed when cells use protein for energy
A
urine
B
urea
C
water
D
carbondioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When you eat proteins, the body breaks them down into amino acids. 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: -Urea herbicides are generally of low acute toxicity and severe poisoning is only likely following ingestion when nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain may occur.

Detailed explanation-3: -The urea cycle or ornithine cycle converts excess ammonia into urea in the mitochondria of liver cells. The urea forms, then enters the blood stream, is filtered by the kidneys and is ultimately excreted in the urine.
