Solution
The correct option is B Ammonia
- Animals accumulate ammonia, urea, uric acid, carbon dioxide, water and ions like Na +, K+, Cl–, phosphate, sulphate, etc., either by metabolic activities or by other means like excess ingestion.
- These substances have to be removed totally or partially. Ammonia, urea and uric acid are the major forms of nitrogenous wastes excreted by the animals. Ammonia is rapidly removed from the liver by urea cycle.
- Urea cycle takes place in the liver in which the ammonia is converted into a water-soluble compound known as urea. Urea formed is a non-toxic excretion product whereas Ammonia is toxic to the CNS because it reacts with the α-ketoglutarate to form glutamate. Hence, If the liver is removed, which component of blood will increase is ammonia.
So, the correct answer is 'ammonia'.
