    Ammoniogenesis is process of:

    A)  production of\[N{{H}_{3}}\]in liver

    B)  excretion of ammonia by tadpole of frog

    C)  exchange of\[N{{a}^{+}}\]for\[N{{H}_{3}}\]

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The exchange of\[N{{a}^{+}}\]for\[N{{H}_{3}}\]is called ammoniogenesis. Kidney tubules excrete ammonia which tend to retain\[N{{a}^{+}}\]in body.    Ammonia    formation    is proportional to\[{{H}^{+}}\] ions secretion in renal tubules. The\[N{{H}_{3}}\] combins with\[{{H}^{+}}\]which are excreted as ammonium salts in urine.
