nitrogenous
Having nitrogen atoms
Nitrogenous means containing or relating to nitrogen: nitrogenous fertilizers, nitrogenous waste.
The term appears most often in biology and chemistry, describing compounds like proteins, amino acids, and urea that contain nitrogen atoms.
The kidneys filter nitrogenous waste from the blood.
