Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The metabolic substrate that can be produced from the carbons of leucine.
Introduction:
Degradation of amino acids takes place during protein
b.
To determine:
The metabolic substrate that can be produced from the carbon of asparagine
Introduction:
Degradation of amino acids takes place during protein metabolism. Degradation of each amino acid produces the intermediate of the citric acid cycle, and in this way, amino acids contribute to the production of energy. The intermediate produced by a particular amino acid depends on the number of carbon in that amino acid.
c.
To determine:
The metabolic substrate that can be produced from the carbon of cysteine
Introduction:
Degradation of amino acids takes place during protein metabolism. Degradation of each amino acid produces the intermediate of the citric acid cycle, and in this way, amino acids contribute to the production of energy. The intermediate produced by a particular amino acid depends on the number of carbon in that amino acid.
d.
To determine:
The metabolic substrate that can be produced from the carbon of arginine.
Introduction:
Degradation of amino acids takes place during protein metabolism. Degradation of each amino acid produces the intermediate of the citric acid cycle, and in this way, amino acids contribute to the production of energy. The intermediate produced by a particular amino acid depends on the number of carbon in that amino acid.
