Solution

The correct option is A True

Urea:

  1. Urea is a nitrogenous waste that is found in the urine of ureotelic organisms such as human beings, and other mammals.
  2. It is formed as a result of the breakdown of proteins.
  3. The proteins are broken down to form ammonia which then combines with carbon dioxide leading to the formation of urea.
  4. It is a less toxic nitrogenous waste that is passed out together with the urine.

Final answer:

Hence, the given statement is true.
