Question 3 of 17
Answer
a. True
The liver is in charge of the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous substances. The liver detoxifies ammonia, a product of protein metabolism by transforming it into urea which is then excreted in the urine. Most xenobiotics are metabolized to the liver to convert them into more soluble substances that can then be excreted into bile or urine.
