Answer:
Ammonia, produced from the α-amino group of amino acids and other nitrogen-containing compounds in extra-hepatic tissues is toxic, particularly to neural tissue, and must, therefore, be transported in non-toxic form in to the liver for conversion to urea, a non-toxic compound that is excreted by the kidney.
