Excess of amino acids are stored in
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D none
Amino acids are building blocks of proteins.
During digestion, amino acids are transported to the liver and new proteins are synthesised.
When there are excess proteins, amino acids are converted into fat and stored in the body.
They can then be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis when required.
Excess amino acids are not stored rather eliminated from the body.
In the liver, first the amino group is removed (deamination), resulting in ammonia which is then quickly converted to urea and eliminated from the body through kidneys.
