Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which process involves the removal of an amino group from an amino acid?
  • Step 1: Understand that amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
  • Step 2: Know that each amino acid has an amino group (-NH2) attached to it.
  • Step 3: Learn that deamination is the process where this amino group is removed.
  • Step 4: Recognize that when the amino group is removed, it often converts into ammonia (NH3).
  • Step 5: Conclude that deamination is important for processes like energy production and nitrogen removal in the body.
