CAIE IGCSE Biology EXTENDED 13.1.7 Urea is formed in the liver
Practise tracing excess amino acids from a protein-rich diet to urea formation in the liver and excretion by the kidneys.
How this is tested
- state that excess amino acids are converted to urea in the liver
- link high protein intake to increased urea production by the liver
- distinguish urea formation in the liver from urea excretion by the kidneys
