deamination, the removal
of the amino group from an amino acid. This is often accomplished
by transamination. The amino group is transferred from
an amino acid to an -keto acid acceptor. The organic
acid resulting from deamination can be converted to pyruvate,
acetyl-CoA, or a TCA cycle intermediate and eventually oxidized
in the TCA cycle to release energy. It also can be used as a
source of carbon for the synthesis of cell constituents. Excess nitrogen
from deamination may be excreted as ammonium ion, thus
making the medium alkaline.

What is a main function of a nephron?
The nephron is a functional unit of the kidney which filters the blood and maintains the body's internal homeostasis.
What are the two main parts of a nephron?
it consistsof two parts the renal corpusle and the renal tubule. The question I gave my students was What are the two main parts of a nephron and that was the answer
What is the main function of the glomerulus in urine formation (Glomerulus is one of the four main structures of the nephron)?
filtration of blood
What is the main function of the glomerulus in urine formation (Glomerulus is one of the four main structures of the nephron)?
filtration of blood
How do nephrons in the kidney get damaged?
If your blood pressure is too high, as in the case of someone with hypertension, the glomerulus of the nephron can burst rendering that nephron useless. Without a glomerulus, the nephron cannot achieve pressure filtration, which is one of the main functions of the kidney.
What is the microscopic anatomical unit of excretion found in the kidney?
Nephron
Where does deamination takes place?
mitochondria
What is the meaning of nephron?

What is the deamination of protein?
Deamination is the bodily process in which amino groups are removed from excess proteins. This happens most often in the liver, though it also occurs in the kidneys. Deamination allows the system to convert excess amino acids into usable resources such as hydrogen and carbon. The process also plays a vital role in removing nitrogen waste from the body. Amino groups discarded as a result of the process are converted into ammonia, which is later expelled from the body through urination.

What will the deamination of amino acids produce?
Deamination of amino acids will result initially in the formation of ammonia. It has a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3.
