- A water-soluble organic compound, CO(NH2)2, formed by the metabolism of proteins and excreted in the urine
- The nitrogen part of urine produced from the breakdown of protein.
- A waste product found in the blood that results from the normal breakdown of protein in the liver. Urea is normally removed from the blood by the kidneys and then excreted in the urine.
- A form of nitrogen that converts readily to ammonium.
- A quick-release nitrogen fertilizer source. Usually available as 45-0-0 or 46-0-0. It is also known as a synthetic organic fertilizer as it contains the element carbon in its chemical structure.
