Deamination is a process that occurs in the liver that removes the nitrogen-containing portions (-NH2 groups) from the amino acids. These -NH2 groups subsequently react to form a waste called urea. The liver therefore produces urea from amino groups formed by deamination of amino acids. The blood carries urea to the kidneys, where it is excreted in urine.

What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
What means fatty infiltration of liver and what is it's treatment and what is the difference between fatty infiltration of liver and fatty liver?
the liver shows increased echogenicity compatible with fatty ifiltration.
what Are liver synthesized derivatives of free fatty acids that can be used as an immediate source of energy by many organs?
Ketone bodies.
Name the vitamin present in cod liver oil?
Vitamins A and D and Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
What are components of fats?
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.

1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
Are essential fatty acids polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.
