Q. In human, the waste products of nucleotide metabolism are excreted as

A) Ammonia
B) Uric acid
C) Urea
D) Amino acid
Explanation

Uric acid is the excretory product of purine catabolism in primates, birds and some other animals, but in many other vertebrates, it is further degraded to allantoin by the action of urate oxidase. Human urine consists of 95% water, mainly nitrogenous organic compounds including urea, uric acid, creatinine and hippuric acid.
