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.
