What will most likely happen to wastes containing nitrogen produced as a result of the breakdown of amino acids within liver cells of a mammal?(1) They will be digested by enzymes in the stomach.(2) They will be removed by the excretory system.(3) They will be destroyed by specialized blood cells.(4) They will be absorbed by mitochondria in nearby cells.

Answer:) They will be removed by the excretory system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The entire process is called Deamination.

The main nitrogenous wastes are

Ammonia.

Urea

Urea.acid

Ammonia is formed as a byproduct of protein metabolism after removal of amine group from amino acid.

formed .Carbon dioxide reacts with the toxic Ammonia to formed Urea The latter is less toxic and removed by the kidney.

This is called urea cycle,and it is catalyzed by emzyme.

Uric acid is also removed by the kidney.it is the waste product of nucleic acid, containing Nitrogen. It is solube in water therefore it is easily removed by the kidney glomerular.Precipitation of it i the glomerular causes kidney stones.

Answer:

They will be removed by the excretory system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The body does not store amino acids. It removes the nitrogen part of the molecules in a process called deamination. This results in urea, uric acid and a carbohydrate part that is turned into glycogen. The urea and uric acids are removed from blood in the kidneys then excreted as part of urine
