Deamination occurs mostly in the brain. T/F

Biology
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
4 0

The answer is false.

Deamination is the process (reaction) in which an amine group is removed from a molecule of amino acid. The enzymes that are involved in this reaction are called deaminases. Deamination can be used for energy(break down of amino acids), when there is too much protein intake. Amine group is converted to ammonia that is then converted to urea or uric acid in the urea cycle and at the end excreted through the urine.

In the human body, deamination occurs mostly in the liver (e.g. urea cycle), but also in the kidneys (deamination of glutamate).

When the amount of surface freshwater increases, so does the amount of groundwater.

Human activity, such as taking a bath, may change the quality of a freshwater resource. :)
