Detailed explanation-1: -Urea is produced in the liver and is a metabolite (breakdown product) of amino acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Urea is a nitrogenous waste produced as a by-product of the metabolism of proteins. This process takes place in the liver. It does not occur in the kidney.
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.
