The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "A man takes a large amount of protein. He is likely to excrete more amount of," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Protein Metabolism**: - Proteins are made up of amino acids, which contain nitrogen. When proteins are metabolized, they release nitrogen in the form of ammonia. 2. **Role of the Liver**: - The liver plays a crucial role in detoxifying ammonia. It converts ammonia into urea through a process known as the urea cycle. This is important because ammonia is toxic to the body. 3. **Impact of High Protein Intake**: - When a person consumes a large amount of protein, the body produces more ammonia due to the increased breakdown of amino acids. 4. **Excretion of Urea**: - Since the liver converts excess ammonia into urea, a higher intake of protein leads to an increased production of urea. Consequently, the amount of urea excreted in urine will also increase. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, if a man takes a large amount of protein, he is likely to excrete more urea. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **urea**. ---
