The answer is false. Deamination is removing NH2 group Amine (nitrogen containing) group as the first step of using AA's for energy. NH2 is incorporated into Urea in the liver and excreted in Urine when Excess AA's. Converting one of the essential amino acid types into another nonessential one are Deamination and Transamination.
