Vedclass · Answer

(C) When a person consumes a large amount of protein,the excess amino acids undergo deamination in the liver. Deamination is the process of removing the amino group $(-NH_2)$ from amino acids,which results in the formation of ammonia $(NH_3)$. Since ammonia is toxic,it is converted into urea through the urea cycle in the liver. Therefore,the catabolism of excess protein leads to an increased production and excretion of nitrogenous wastes,primarily urea and uric acid.
