Urea is the principal nitrogenous waste product in humans and other mammals. It is synthesized in the liver through a metabolic pathway known as the urea cycle (or ornithine cycle). This process converts ammonia, a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism, into less toxic urea. Urea is then released into the bloodstream and transported to the kidneys for excretion in urine.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-key-points\">\nUrea is primarily synthesized in the liver through the urea cycle.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-additional-information\">\nAmino acids from dietary protein are broken down in the liver, producing ammonia. The urea cycle combines ammonia with carbon dioxide to form urea. The kidneys filter urea from the blood, concentrating it in urine for elimination from the body. The lungs are involved in gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide), and the digestion of starch yields glucose, not urea.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which one of the following statements is correct?
