How many statements are false with respect to liver
a) Stores vitamin B12
b) Change beta-carotene into vitamin-A
c) Haemopoitic organ in adult
d) Deamination of amino acid is not mainly done by liver

Dear student,
Answer is d). Deamination of amino acid is not mainly done by liver. This is the wrong statement. Deamination is mainly carried out in liver and it is also carried out in kidney. Deaminase enzyme removes amine group from a molecule in deamination process. In case of excess protein intake deamination is used to generate energy.
