Assimilation Process in the Liver (amino acids)
  1. process of deamination.
    1. breaks down the excess amino acid in the liver and converts into urea which is excreted in the urine.
      1. Some amino acids are transaminated to produce a different amino acid
        1. The rest are deaminated to produce ammonia (NH3) and a keto acid
          1. NH3 is converted into urea, which is transported to the kidneys and excreted
            1. The keto acid is used primarily as energy for liver cells
          2. synthesise various types of proteins.
            1. Enzymes
              1. Antibody
                1. Plasma membrane
                  1. Protoplasm
                    1. The liver converts amino acid into glucose WHEN glucose supply is not enough
