By the reaction of `alpha`-ketoglutaric acid with ammonia, through which of the process glutmaic acid is formed

A

Oxidative amination

B

Reductive amination

C

Ammonification

D

Transmination

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Reductive amination is the method of amino-acid synthesis in plants . In this method, `alpha-`keto glutaric acid reacts with ammonia `(NH_(3))` and forms the amino acid called glutamic acid. The enzyme glutamate dehydronase enhaneces the reaction.
