Nitrogen in animal wastes is often in the form of urea.  Plants cannot absorb and use the nitrogen as a nutrient in this form; it must be broken down by a series of reactions.   In the presence of water, the enzyme urease converts urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide.                                                       urease (NH2)2       +      H2O      ——–>           2NH3           +      CO2   urea               water                             ammonia           carbon dioxide   What are the substrates/reactants in this reaction?
