Select and explain. 
A. SGOT, B. Alkaline phosphatase, C. Acid phosphatase, D. SGPT
A: SGOT
Answer: A: SGOT 
Explanation: SGOT: Serum Glutamate Oxaloacetate Transaminase - also known as AST i.e. Aspaate transaminase. Aspaate loses amino group and forms oxaloacetate. On the other hand, alpha keto glutarate takes amino group and forms glutamate. SGPT: Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase - also known as ALT i.e. Alanine transaminase. Alanine loses amino group and forms pyruvate. On the other hand alpha keto glutarate takes amino group and forms glutamate.
