General Biology I
Urea is a nitrogen-containing compound that is the primary end product of protein metabolism in mammals and many other organisms. It plays a crucial role in the process of nitrogen excretion, helping to balance osmotic pressure and eliminate excess nitrogen from the body through urine. Urea is less toxic than ammonia, making it an efficient way for organisms to excrete nitrogenous waste while minimizing water loss.
