Vedclass · Answer

(A) Proteins are composed of amino acids. When excess proteins are consumed,the amino acids undergo deamination in the liver,where the amino group $(-NH_2)$ is removed and converted into ammonia $(NH_3)$. Since ammonia is toxic,it is converted into urea $(CO(NH_2)_2)$ via the urea cycle and subsequently excreted by the kidneys. Therefore,a high-protein diet leads to an increased excretion of urea.
