Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The oxidation of amino acids occurs in 3 different metabolic situations

 During normal protein synthesis and degradation cell phones (protein replacement).

 When ingested AAs exceed the needs for protein synthesis, the surplus is catabolized.

AAs cannot be stored.

 During starvation or diabetes mellitus, there is no carbohydrates available or not used correctly.

Mainly they differ by the products generated after their oxidation, ammonia, in form of ammonium ion, urea and uric acid.
