What do deamanination and detoxification both do???

Deamination is removal of an amine group from from a molecule, normally amino acids in biology. Lots of important reasons for that. You'll have to expand on what you mean by detoxification (other than it is ridding toxins from some system) and what it is about deamination you need to know.

Why they're connected and what's the difference???

Depending what level you're at (A levels, undergrad, etc?), most likely wants you to know that when nitrogen containing compounds (normally amino acids) are broken down in the body, the nitrogen metabolite (normally in the form of ammonia -ammonium at physiological pH) is toxic and so needs to be excreted.

The urea cycle deals with this by coupling deamination of amino acids with formation of urea, a nitrogen containing compound that is less toxic than free ammonia. The urea can be more 'safely' excreted from the cell/body.

(the urea cycle also has transamination events, that transfer amine groups to keto acids for use in other metabolic pathways, but I'm guessing from your question your not needing to know that sport of stuff).

Woah man, i'm only at IGCSE.

Yeah I don't need to know all that I think just why they're different and how are they connected
