View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Urea NH2 – CO – NH2 is formed from two molecules of ammonia and one molecule of carbon dioxide. A molecule of ammonia combines with carbondioxide to form carbonyl phosphate. It reacts with ornithine to form citrulline. Citrulline accepts another molecule of NH4 + giving rise to arginine. Arginine is hydrolysed into urea and ornithine with the help of enzyme arginase.
