Question
Chapter 23, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The identify the rapid donors of the nitrogen atoms of urea.
Concept introduction:
The urea cycle is a series of biochemical reactions which involve the formation of urea (NH2)2CO from the ammonia (NH3). It is also known as the ornithine cycle. It helps in the excretion of toxic ammonia by converting into urea. This cycle takes place in ureotelic organisms.
