Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uric acid is produced as a waste product of the degradation of purine nucleotides. Purines are present in many foods, including meat, fish, poultry, and some vegetables. When purines are metabolized, they are broken down into uric acid. This is then excreted from the body in the urine. Mammals are unable to break down uric acid further, so it is excreted as a solid waste product.
