The urea cycle rids the body of excess nitrogen by converting it to a form that can be excreted in the urine. Label the steps of the urea cycle shown in the diagram and move the molecules to their positions. These enzyme abbreviations are used: ornithine transcarbamoylase, OTC; and argininosuccinate synthetase, ASS. ornithine Coo H₂N-C-H CH2 CH2 CH2 NH₂ Arginase hydrolyzes a carbon-nitrogen bond to yield urca and ornithine.
