Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transamination involves the transfer of an amine group from one amino acid to a keto acid, effectively swapping the amine group between molecules, not necessarily removing it to produce free ammonia or urea directly. It does not result in free fatty acids, require glucose, synthesize essential amino acids (since essential amino acids must be obtained through diet), or directly produce urea.
