Urea is much less toxic than ammonia, therefore organisms which can't easily and quickly remove ammonia usually have to convert it to some other substance, like urea or uric acid.
The Urea Cycle
Urea is the chief nitrogenous waste of mammals.
Most of our nitrogenous waste comes from the breakdown of amino acids.
urea
[Gk. ouron, urine]
A soluble form of nitrogenous waste excreted by mammals and most adult amphibians.

UREA IS WHAT MAMMALS USE- IT IS SOMEWHAT MORE COMPLEX THAN AMMONIA
URIC ACID IS USED BY ANIMALS THAT LAY EGGS
It is the least toxic of the 3 molecules. It precipitates out of solution in the egg thus it does not harm the developing embryo ...

nitrosomethyl urea An alkylating agent that is used as a chemical mutagen. Alkylation of reactive sites on bases with methyl or ethyl groups alters their H bonding and consequently,base pairing. Mutations can be transitions or transversions.
As your blood travels along within your body, it becomes more and more polluted with urea and other wastes. Eventually the blood enters a special filter. An organ known as your kidneys. As the blood enters your kidneys it is cleansed.
In the urea cycle, the enzyme arginase cleaves (hydrolyzes) the guanidinium group to yield urea and the L-amino acid ornithine. Ornithine is lysine with one fewer methylene groups in the side chain. L-ornithine is not normally found in proteins.
Either of two bean-shaped excretory organs that filter wastes (especially urea) from the blood and excrete them and water in urine; urine passes out of the kidney through ureters to the bladder.
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase An enzyme that begins the urea cycle by catalyzing the synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate from bicarbonate, ammonium ion, and ATP. The enzyme also catalyzes the initial reaction in pyrimidine biosynthesis.
Quality control consists of running a representative sample of the plate on BioRad 15% TBE-Urea Ready gels, 12 wells. If those samples are confirmed to be the required length without n-x species, i.e.

The circulatory system connection is obvious. Blood that circulates through the body passes through one of the two kidneys. Urea, uric acid, and water are removed from the blood and most of the water is put back into the system.
