Solution
The correct option is A Liver Kidney helps in the filtration of blood. Liver supplement the function of the kidney by the formation of urea by a cyclic process called as urea cycle of Ornithine cycle or Knely Henseleit cycle. The amino acids that are not needed in the body are deaminated by an enzyme oxidase, producing ammonia NH3. Ammonia, hung toxic, is quickly changed to urea.
