Why the conversion of ammonia to urea is essential in human body?

Open in App
Solution

The conversion of ammonia to urea is essential because ammonia is more toxic for our body as compared to urea. Other than that, ammonia is volatile and leaks through the body cells and vessels. On the contrary, urea is less volatile and it is easier for the body to accumulate it and excrete it through special channels.
