4. The urea cycle was the first metabolic cycle to be discovered, predating the description of the citricacid cycle by 5 years. Hans Krebs along with Kurt Henseleit used their Warburg manometer (pictured)to monitor the use of carbon dioxide and ammonia in the synthesis of urea. In the presence of a sliceof liver, urea could be produced, but the reaction requireornithine and citrulline. Since citrulline is not consumed duringthe course of the enzymatic cycle, but is rather regenerated,Krebs described citrulline as a “catalyst” of the process.OH₂N(a) What do initiation of the urea cycle and initiation ofgluconeogenesis have in common?OHNH₂(b) What is the first committed step of the urea cycle, what reactants are used, what product isproduced, where does it take place, how is it allosterically regulated, and how is the allosteric regulatorproduced?(c) Describe the reversible steps in the urea cycle, including the substrates, products, and enzymes.(d) What are the energy-consuming steps of the urea cycle and what is the energetic cost of the ureacycle in terms of ATP equivalents? How is this cost partially offset and what is the total net energeticcost of the urea cycle?
