WHAT DOES UREA CYCLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Urea cycle

The urea cycle (also known as the Ornithine cycle) is a cycle of biochemical reactions occurring in many animals that produces urea ((NH2)2CO) from ammonia (NH3). This cycle was the first metabolic cycle discovered (Hans Krebs and Kurt Henseleit, 1932), five years before the discovery of the TCA cycle. In mammals, the urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver, and to a lesser extent in the kidney.

Definition of urea cycle in the English dictionary

The definition of urea cycle in the dictionary is the sequence of metabolic reactions leading in vertebrates to the synthesis of urea.
