Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

The Fate of the Carbon Skeleton Any amino acid can be converted into an intermediate of the citric acid cycle. Once the amino group is removed, usually by transamination, the α-keto acid that remains is catabolized by a pathway unique to that acid and consisting of one or more reactions. For example, phenylalanine undergoes a series of six reactions before it splits into.

 Choices:

- deactivation

- bromination

- caramelization

- transamination
