Correct Answer: Urochrome


Solution : The correct answer is Urochrome

The yellow colour of urine is caused mostly by urochrome, a waste product produced by the breakdown of haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in red blood cells. As red blood cells disintegrate, the heme in haemoglobin degrades into biliverdin (green), which is then transformed into bilirubin (yellow). Bilirubin is finally excreted by the liver as bile, which adds to the yellow colour of urine following excretion.
