Glutamate entering into the brain along with ammonia transforms into the following amino acid: 
Select and explain. 
A. Glutamine, B. Arginine, C. Glyceride, D. Glycine
A: Glutamine
Answer: A: Glutamine 
Explanation: The brain's uptake of glutamate is approximately balanced by its output of glutamine. Glutamate entering the brain associates with ammonia and leaves as glutamine. The glutamate--glutamine conversion in the brain--the opposite of the reaction in the kidney that produces some of the ammonia entering the tubules--serves as a detoxifying mechanism to keep the brain free of ammonia. Ammonia is very toxic to nerve cells, and ammonia intoxication is believed to be a major cause of the bizarre neurologic symptoms in hepatic coma.
