Question

If liver is removed, the component that increases in blood is _____.

• A. Protein
• B. Urea
• C. Uric acid
• D. Ammonia

Answer 1

The correct option is D Ammonia

D. Ammonia

Solution : In our body, the ammonia is converted to urea by a biochemical process known as ornithine cycle. The ornithine cycle is performed in liver. If the liver is removed, there will be no ornithine cycle and the amount of ammonia will increase in blood as the conversion of urea from ammonia will not take place.

So the correct answer is "Ammonia".
