Water is the compound must be present along with urea for the break down of urea.Thus, option B is correct.
<h3>What does urea break down into?</h3>
Urea and water combined together and results into the production of carbon dioxide and ammonia with the help of urease enzyme.
Urea + water = Carbon dioxide+ ammonia
Breakdown of urea occurs in a cycle known as urea cycle and it has five important steps:
- Formation of carbamoyl phosphate
- Synthesis of citrulline
- Cleavage of argininosuccinate
- Glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids
- Oxidation of Carbon skeleton of amino acids
Therefore,water is the compound must be present during the process of break down of urea.Thus, option B is correct.
