Solution
Urine formation by the kidneys:
Human urine is composed of approximately 95% water and 5% solid waste, and it is produced in nephrons of the kidneys.
When primary urine develops and runs down a series of ducts, the nephrons reabsorb nearly all of the fluid as well as any other compounds that are still usable.
At the same time, they release other chemicals. On a daily basis, around 1.7 liters of urine is produced.
