Where are excess nutrients stored in the body?
Excess nutrients are stored as fat and glycogen. There is no storage form of a similar nature for protein, but fasting mobilizes amino acids from muscle that would later be replenished or rebuilt over time. Similarly bone will leach calcium and minerals but that deficit creates a 'debt' to those tissues that the body will try to repay when concentrations of precursors rise again.
What is the breakdown of excess amino acids in the liver?
this is called deamination
How do the digestive system works with the other body systems?

When consumed in excess of body needs which nutrient is converted in storage compounds such as body fat?
All three macro nutrients - fats, carbohydrates, and proteins can and are converted to stored fat. Many protein supplements claim that "excess" protein just passes through and a fair amount does - while causing excess work and potential harm to the liver and kidneys. Across the board though all of the three main macro nutrients can be converted by the liver for storage in fat cells.
