The kidney produces the majority of urine. It is a fluid mixture of waste materials, salts, organic substances, and urea and uric acid, two significant nitrogen compounds. The two main sources of nitrogen in the body are nucleic acids and proteins. The liver breaks down amino acids (protein monomers) into urea and uric acid as a result of the degradation of nucleic acids. Both of these nitrogenous waste products, which the body excretes as urine, have the potential to be toxic. So the correct answer is “In the liver but eliminated mostly through kidneys”.
