Refer to the given reaction `alpha`-Ketoglutaric acid `+NH_(4)^(+)+NAD

1.	Refer to the given reaction `alpha`-Ketoglutaric acid `+NH_(4)^(+)+NADPHunderset("dehydrogenase")overset("Glutamate")to"Glutamate"+H_(2)O+NADP` is representsA. oxidative aminationB. reductive aminationC. transaminationD. deamination
Answer» Correct Answer - B The given reaction shows reductive amonation. In the presence of dehydrogenase (e.g., glutamate dehydrogenase, aspartate dehydrogenase) and a reduced coenzyme (NADH or NADPH), ammonia can directly combine with a keto organic acid like `alpha`- ketoglutaric acid or oxaloacetic acid to form amino acids.
