Solution
The correct option is
A
Make the use of exess amino acid
In case of excess intake of amino acids, deamination occurs in the liver to get rid of the excess amino acids present in the body.
When excess amino acids reach the liver it is converted into urea, which forms the major part of urine.
This deamination results in the production of energy.
So, the correct answer is 'Make the use of excess amino acid'.
