Question

What are the products of urea cycle ?

• A. 1 molecule of urea, 2 molecules of ATP, 1 molecule of both AMP and fumaric acid.
• B. 1 molecule of aspartate, 2 molecules of ADP, 1 molecule of fumaric acid.
• C. 1 molecule of urea, 2 molecules of ADP, 1 molecule of both AMP and fumaric acid.
• D. 2 molecules of urea, 2 molecules of ammonia, 1 molecule of both ATP and fumaric acid.

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1 molecule of urea, 2 molecules of ADP, 1 molecule of both AMP and fumaric acid.

Urea cycle is a process of conversion of toxic ammonia to less toxic urea. Products of the urea cycle are: 1 molecule of urea, 2 molecules of ADP, 1 molecule each of AMP and fumaric acid.
