KNOWLEDGE CHECK ✓ Humans breathe out carbon dioxide produced from respiration. ✓ Excess amino acids from digestion are broken down to form urea in the liver. LEARNING OBJECT 1vFc ✓ State that carbon dioxide is excreted through the lungs. ✓ State that the kidneys excrete urea and excess water and ions. ✓ Identify in diagrams and images the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. ✓ SUPPLEMENT Identify in diagrams and images the structure of the kidney, limited to the cortex and medulla. ✓ SUPPLEMENT Outline the structure and function of a nephron and its associated blood vessels, limited to: the role of the glomerulus in the filtration from the blood of water, glucose, urea and ions; the role of the nephron in the reabsorption of all of the glucose, some of the ions and most of the water back into the blood; the formation of urine containing urea, excess water and excess ions (details of these processes are not required). ✓ converting SUPPLEMENT Describe the role of the liver in the assimilation of amino acids by them to proteins. ✓ SUPPLEMENT State that urea is formed in the liver from excess amino acids. ✓ part SUPPLEMENT Describe deamination as the removal of the nitrogen-containing of amino acids to form urea. ✓ SUPPLEMENT Explain the importance of excretion, limited to toxicity of urea.
