A N S W E R :

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

E X T R A I N F O R M A T I O N :

  • 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 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 to 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 ".
