Solution
The correct option is A Alanine
Amino acids are employed to carry ammonia in the form of amino groups to the liver, where it is eventually converted to urea. In most tissues, the toxic ammonia is converted to the nontoxic and electrically neutral, glutamine. Glutamine is then transported by the blood to the liver.
