Question
Explain what happens to excess amino acids in the liver of humans.
Answer
- Excess amino acids are deaminated/amino group is removed/amino group is converted in to ammonia
- ammonia combines with carbon(iv) oxide(in the ornithine cycle) to form urea carbohydrate group is converted into glucose for respiration/glycogen for storage
2NH3+CO ⇒ CO (NH3)2 +H2O
