Best Answer

In the gut, amino acids are absorbed from the small intestine into the blood by active transport. However, if you are referring to amino acids being reabsorbed in the kidney from the nephron back to the blood, then that is incorrect - amino acids aren't reabsorbed at all, because they weren't filtered in the first place. This is due to the protein molecules being too large to diffuse across the Bowman's Capsule.

Not really, amino acids are building blocks of proteins, which are used in facilitated transport.

What is deamination process?

When amino acids are taken into the body and digested, they get absorbed into the blood stream from the ileum in the large intestine. If too much amino acid is absorbed into the blood, the body is not capable of storing it. However, some amino acids can be converted into useful substances (such as glucose and other compounds).If this is not possible, the molecules of amino acid are broken down in the liver and some parts of the molecule are recycled. This process of amino acids being broken down in a liver and recycled is called deamination.While some parts of the amino acid can be recycled, the nitrogen part of it can't be used or recycled. It is converted into urea and then transported in the blood to the kidneys where it is excreted as urine.

Amino acids used to assemble your protein in order?

Proteins are made of Amino Acid "polymers" where each amino acid is like a link in a (polymer) chain. When you eat proteins your digestion system breaks them down into amino acids. The amino acids (flexible building blocks) are then absorbed into your body, and they are used to build (assemble) your proteins.
