Deamination occurs. An amine group is removed from the amino acids, making ammonia. This ammonia is then converted to urea in the ornithine cycle. Search for 'deamination' on Wikipedia. That should cover it :)

Protein molecules are composed of amino acids, which contain nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. Your body uses amino acids to produce new proteins and to replace damaged proteins.

the liver will turn the excess amino acids into urea, which is then taken out of the blood by the liver and you then excrete through urination

Excess intake of amino acids differ based on the person. The most common result is a negative bodily response. Excess of amino acids could result in adrenal toxicity or overworked kidneys.

Not quite, though that does occur, more frequently excess amino acids turn into fat according o New England jurnal of medicine. A calorie is a calorie irregardless of source.

What is the breakdown of excess amino acids in the liver?

this is called deamination


Amino acids not manufactored by the body?

Our body needs twenty two amino acids and can manufacture some of it. There are some amino acids that cannot be manufactured by our body and therefore must be obtained from our diet. Proteins contain combinations of different amino acids.Some of them contain all amino acids required by the body


What amino acids is not manufactured by your body but you must get it from food?

essential amino acids


When protein consumption is in excess of body needs and energy needs are met the excess amino acids are metabolized and the energy in the molecule is what?

Our bodies cannot store excess protein once it is consumed, so the excess amino acids are converted to carbon skeletons that are turned into glucose or fat and then stored as fat or metabolized for energy needs. **stored as glycogen & fat** jmata~

kidney


Why does fetus need amino acid?

Amino acids are building blocks for the body's construction. There are 20 amino acids, but only 8 are called Essential Amino Acids.


Where in body is amino acid pool?

both essential and non essential amino acids .


How do amino acids get to cells in every part of the body?

The blood carries the amino acids to the cells.


What organ is involved with the deamination of amino acids?

Through researching this question i have found out that the stomach absorbs proteins which are made up of amino acids. After the stomach amino acids are then absorbed by the duodenum ( a buffer for acids in the stomach in small intestine, called sodium bicarbonate).


How do the body get Proteins?

From what I understand is that your body can make protein from the amino acids it makes in your cells. Well, there is 8 essential Amino Acids that your body can not make. That is why we eat animal proteins( such as eggs, milk, meat, and fish) because they contain those 8 essential amino acids. There is Essential Amino Acids in plants, just there is very rarely all 8 of the essential amino acids.So one of the main reasons we eat proteins is to get the essentail amino acids. With these Amino acids, your body can make the protein it needs.
