Urea

Urea needs to be removed from the body because it is toxic. When there is too much urea in the bloodstream, it can harm cells and tissues.

Amino acids

Amino acids

Deamination

Deamination

  • In the liver, these amino acids undergo a process known as deamination, and the waste product is ammonia.
Ammonia
