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).
What is the removal of amino groups from organic compounds?
deamination
What is the first step in using amino acid as a fuel?
deamination (removal of the amine group from the amino acid)
What are amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism called?
Amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism are called essential amino acids. These amino acids must be obtained through diet.
What monomers make up protiens?
amino acid
What is the breakdown of excess amino acids in the liver?
this is called deamination

Does the liver deaminate fatty acids?
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 would Hydrolysis of a protein produce?
Amino Acids
What does the body do with excess amino acids?
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 :)
What are the end products of deamination?
The end products of deamination are ammonia, derived from the amine group, and the remaining carbon skeleton, often classified as a keto acid.
What is ketonacidosis?
It's Ketoacidosis and it's a type of metabolic acidosis caused by high concentration ketone bodies,formed by the breakdown of fatty acids and deamination of amino acids.
Amino acids must undergo prior to being used for metabolic reactions other than protein synthesis?
oxidative deamination
What do amino acids produce?
Proteins.
Are amino acids the building block of sugar?
A better comparison would be that amino acids make up protein similarly to the way that sugar makes up starch. Fat is not composed only of sugars.
The process by which amino groups -NH2 are removed from proteins is called?
Deamination...... (:
Of what value is deamination to a microbe?
Deamination is the removal of an amino group and its value to a microbe is that it allows the amino acid to be used as a carbon and energy source.
