  • in kidneys but eliminated mostly through the liver

  • in kidneys as well as eliminated by kidneys

  • In liver and also eliminated by the same through bile

  • In liver and also eliminated by the same through bile


D.

In liver and also eliminated by the same through bile

In humans, the principal nitrogenous excretory compound (i.e, urea) is synthesised in the liver by ornithine cycle. In liver, one molecule of CO2 is activated by biotin and combines with two molecules of NH3 in the presence of carbamyl phosphate synthetase enzyme and 2ATP to form carbonyl phosphate reacts with ornithine and forms citrulline. Citrulline combines with another molecule of ammonia and forms arginine that is broken into urea and ornithine in the presence of an enzyme arginase and water. 


Urea is eliminated mostly through kidney as a nitrogenous excretory product.
