    Where is ammonia is converted into urea?
    Question

    Where is ammonia is converted into urea?

    A.

    Kidney

    B.

    Pancreas

    C.

    Liver

    D.

    Stomach

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) Liver.
    · Ammonia is converted into urea in the liver through a process called the urea cycle or ornithine cycle.
    · This process is crucial for detoxifying ammonia, which is a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism. The liver converts ammonia into urea, a less toxic compound, which is then transported to the kidneys for excretion in the urine.
    Information Booster:
    Kidney:
    · The kidneys are responsible for filtering blood and excreting urea, but they do not convert ammonia into urea.
    Pancreas:
    · The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin but is not involved in the conversion of ammonia into urea.
    Stomach:
    · The stomach is involved in digestion by secreting gastric juices, but it has no role in the urea cycle or ammonia detoxification.
