Which of the following statements about deamination is true?
A
Deamination results in the addition of a carboxyl group to an organic molecule.
B
Deamination involves the removal of an amino group from an organic molecule.
C
Deamination is a process that converts alcohols into aldehydes.
D
Deamination is a type of polymerization reaction.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of deamination: Deamination is a biochemical process where an amino group (\(\)) is removed from an organic molecule, typically an amino acid.
Identify the role of deamination in metabolism: This process is crucial in the catabolism of amino acids, where the amino group is removed and converted into ammonia, which can be further processed in the urea cycle.
Evaluate the given statements: Analyze each statement to determine which accurately describes deamination. The correct statement should involve the removal of an amino group.
Consider the chemical changes involved: Deamination does not involve the addition of a carboxyl group, conversion of alcohols into aldehydes, or polymerization. These processes are distinct and unrelated to deamination.
Select the correct statement: Based on the understanding of deamination, choose the statement that correctly describes the removal of an amino group from an organic molecule.
