What are the byproduct metabolism?
Urea
What is the term for waste products of protein metabolism eliminated by kidneys?
No. Urea is.
Bi product in protein metabolism?
Urea
Does urea contain protein?
The molecular formula of the urea is NH2-CO-NH2. The proteins are long chain of many amino acids. Urea is formed out of metabolism ( break down) of the amino acids.
Major waste product of protein metabolism?
Urea
Why does a starving person have a high concentration of urea in the blood?
When a person is starving, their body breaks down protein for energy, leading to an increase in urea production as a byproduct of protein metabolism. Urea is then released into the blood and its concentration rises due to the increased breakdown of proteins for energy in the absence of sufficient food intake.
Urea results from the metabolism of?
carbohydrates
What is the byproduct of cell metabolism?
Cells mostly metabolize sugars, fats, and protiens into energy and other useful compounds. Carbon dioxide, water, heat, and urea, are formed as the principal byproducts of this process.
The major waste product of protein metabolism is?
Chapter 9 Medical Terminology proves UREA is the major waste product of protein metabolism.
What byproduct of protein catabolism constitutes approximately one half of all nitrogen waste?
creatinine
What organs produces urea?
"Kidneys" ^ this is incorrect. Urea is a byproduct of protein metabolism. In the GI, blood proteins are broken down into ammonia, it is then absorbed and the liver then converts it to Urea. It is then released into the blood stream where the Kidney's take it up and eliminate it. Urea is then eliminated by the kidney's, but not produced by it. its synthesized during the metabolic activity of the body. and is purified form the body in kidnies. ^so basically, liver makes urea not the kidneys
How are kidney levels measured?
Blood urea nitrogen test (BUN). Urea is a by-product of protein metabolism. This waste product is formed in the liver, then filtered from the blood and excreted in the urine by the kidneys. The BUN test measures the amount of nitrogen.
