Question

Give an account of ornithine cycle of urea synthesis in animals

Answer 1

Answer:

it is also known as urea cycle or krebs _henseleit cycle

Explanation:

in this amino acid undergo deamination and breakdown into Ammonia where ammonia combine with water and converted into arginine. arginine breakdown into urea and it father get converted into ornithine ornithine get converted into citrulline this is known as ornithine cycle

I hope it may help you

Answer 2

ANSWER :-

The "Ornithine cycle" of urea synthesis in animals is basically the cycle which represents the detoxification of ammonia.

Extra Information :-

• The Ornithine cycle is also known as "Urea cycle" or "Krebs-Henseleit cycle".

• The Ornithine cycle was discovered by "Hans Adolf Krebs" and "Kurt Henseleit" in the year 1932.

• The Ornithine cycle takes place in the liver.

• The Ornithine cycle involves the union of two molecules of ammonia and one molecule of carbon dioxide.

• The Ornithine cycle helps to remove two waste products from the liver, namely- "Ammonia" and "Carbon dioxide".

• Ornithine is a non-protein amino acid.

• Ornithine reacts with one molecule of Ammonia and one molecule of Carbon dioxide to give "Citrulline".

• Citrulline reacts with a second molecule of ammonia to give "Arginine".

• The enzyme which takes place in the Ornithine cycle is known as "Arginase"
