This process is called deamination.

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).

What happens one and non-competitive inhibitor binds to an enzyme
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<em>The competitive inhibitor binds to the active site and prevents the substrate from binding there.</em>

Explanation:

The noncompetitive inhibitor binds to a different site on the enzyme; it doesn't block substrate binding, but it causes other changes in the enzyme so that it can no longer catalyze the reaction efficiently.

I am studying a fish-eating hawk that lives by large lakes and find that it could capture more pounds of fish per unit time if i
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The findings demonstrates an optimal foraging hypothesis based on maximizing caloric intake alone is probably incorrect in this case.

Explanation:

This example can also be explained by optimal foraging theory which helps in predicting the behavior of an animal which it is searching for food. Food provides energy to the animal but searching and capturing the food requires both energy and time.

So in order to maximize fitness , an animal adopts a foraging strategy which provides the most benefit which in this case is energy, for the lower cost and by maximizing the net energy gained.
