Solution
The correct option is C Transamination Transamination is very important reaction for amino acid biosynthesis. The reaction
involves transfer of amino group from already synthesized amino acid to the keto
acid. The reaction
is catalyzed by enzymes called transaminases. A large number of amino acids are
synthesized by this transamination reaction. Amino acids are organic molecules
containing nitorgen. The incorporation of amino group from ammonium into keto
acids represents the major step for synthesis of nitrogenous organic biomolecules.
