Question

question 65
in which organ does amino acid metabolism primarily take place?
stomach
liver
small intestine
pancreas

Explanation:

Amino acid metabolism primarily occurs in the liver. The liver is responsible for processes like deamination (removing the amino group from amino acids) and synthesizing non - essential amino acids. The stomach is mainly involved in protein digestion (using pepsin to break proteins into smaller peptides). The small intestine is where most of the absorption of amino acids (after further digestion by pancreatic and intestinal enzymes) occurs. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes (like trypsin, chymotrypsin) that aid in protein digestion in the small intestine but is not the main site for amino acid metabolism.

Answer:

Liver
