Conversion of excess of amino acids into urea is done in
Conversion of excess of amino acids into urea is done in
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Liver
Urea cycle in liver helps in conversion of excess of amino acids into urea. It takes place in five major steps. The extra proteins in the body are degraded by the process of deamination where the NH2 group is removed and it is converted into ammonium ions in the liver. The ammonium ions enter urea cycle and get converted into urea. The urea formed in liver is transported to kidney through circulation and finally gets excreted. So, the correct answer is "liver".
