Answer #1

Option A is correct.

Transamination is the process of transfer of amino group from an amino acid to a keto acid.

Two important transamination reactions are -

1. L glutamate + pyruvate → alpha ketoglutarate + L alanine (by enzyme glutamate pyruvate transaminase)

2. L glutamate + oxaloacetate → alpha ketoglutarate + L aspartate

Please rate high.
