Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
The liver is the primary organ responsible for urea formation. Urea is the main nitrogen-containing waste product in the body, and it's produced in the liver through the urea cycle. This cycle converts ammonia (a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism) into urea, which is then transported to the kidneys for excretion in urine.
