The correct answer is that ammonia is removed from the blood by the liver, which processes it into urea, and discharging it into the circulation.

The liver plays an essential function in the metabolism of proteins. The cells in the liver modify amino acids in foods so that they can be utilized to generate energy, or make fats or carbohydrates.

A toxic component known as ammonia is a waste-product of this procedure. The liver cell transform ammonia to a much less toxic component known a urea, which is discharged into the blood. Urea is then translocated to the kidneys and is removed out of the body in the form of urine.

Electricity is added to recharge a battery. What is added to ADP to form ATP?
White raven [17]

Electricity is added to recharge a battery. A third phosphate group  is added to ADP to form ATP.

ATP or Adenosine triphosphate contains adenine, ribose and 3 phosphate groups.

ADP is converted to ATP by the following reaction:

ADP+Pi+energy⇄ATP

The analogy between battery and ATP can be explained as ATP is higher energy form and ADP is lower energy form like charged and uncharged form of the battery. When the terminal or third phosphate is removed from the ATP it becomes ADP and releases energy like a battery. The additional phosphate group when added to ADP forms the ATP molecule like the energy spent by the batteries are recharged by putting in additional energy. Here the additional energy is provided by the third phosphate group.
