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 ".
