Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction described is the conversion of an amino acid to ammonia (NH₃), which is a deamination process. In metabolic pathways, deamination typically occurs in the liver, where amino acids lose their amino group (-NH2) to form ammonia. Step III likely represents this deamination process.
