Solution
The correct option is B α−ketoglutaric acid
Amino acid synthesis is required for the sequence of amino acids are important for protein synthesis. But not all amino acids are synthesised in the body. Amino acids are mostly formed from the α-ketoacid and later transmitted from the glutamate. so the intermediate compound is α-ketoglutarate acid.α-ketoacid + glutamate ⇄ amino acid + α-ketoglutarate
