GALLBLADDER AND EXCRETORY SYSTEM OF THE LIVER

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Urea is a chemical created when what is broken down
A
protein
B
oxygen
C
nutrients
D
salt
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: -Amino acids may also be metabolized through the liver to form urea, which is then excreted in the urine. Body protein stores can be converted back to essential and nonessential amino acids or may be metabolized, forming waste products and ions, which, as previously detailed, are excreted in the urine.
