The chemical reactions and pathways involving various organic and inorganic nitrogenous compounds, as carried out by individual cells. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of atrazine, a triazine ring-containing herbicide, into urea. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of urea, the water soluble compound O=C-(NH2)2. The chemical reactions and pathways, including anabolism and catabolism, by which living organisms transform chemical substances. Metabolic processes typically transform small molecules, but also include macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, and protein synthesis and degradation. A cyclic metabolic pathway that converts waste nitrogen in the form of ammonium to urea. The chemical reactions and pathways involving urea, the water soluble compound O=C-(NH2)2, produced in the liver by the ornithine cycle. It is the main nitrogen-containing excretion product in ureotelic animals. The chemical reactions and pathways involving small molecules, any monomeric molecule of small relative molecular mass. The chemical reactions and pathways involving an amide, any derivative of an oxoacid in which an acidic hydroxy group has been replaced by an amino or substituted amino group, as carried out by individual cells. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving urea.
