Separation of amino acid into amino and carboxyl group is known as:
Correct answer: C. Deamination
- A. Amination
- B. Excretion
- C. Deamination
- D. Egestion
Explanation
Deamination is the process by which an amino group (-NH2) is removed from an amino acid, typically resulting in the formation of ammonia (NH3) or a related compound. This process is essential for the metabolism of amino acids, especially when they are used for energy or converted into other molecules.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
