Discuss the deamination of amino acids that produces ammonia and the specific actions that occur throughout the body. What is the impact of hormones and enzymes on these processes? Include digestion that begins in the mouth and ends in body tissues.

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth. Chemical digestion begins in the stomach and continues through the small intestine, where enzymes aid in digestion. Deamination produces ammonia, which enters the liver and kidneys. The remaining parts are used for energy or are converted to carbohydrate or fat and stored as glycogen or adipose tissue. (Each of these processes should be discussed thoroughly.)
