The metabolic nucleotide which contains a thioester
Introduction:
Nucleotides are the building blocks of the nucleic acids such as deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA), and ribonucleic acid (RNA). These nucleotides have significant metabolic functions in cells, therefore, called as “metabolic nucleotides”. They act as energy exchanger and can also be coenzymes. Metabolic nucleotides have two forms: a high energy form and a low energy form.

- Saliva contains mucus, water, and _______, which partially digests polysaccharides. Fill in the blank with the correct response from below: a. lipase b. amylase c. trypsin d. insulinarrow_forwardThe first step of catabolism is digestion. When we eat polysaccharides, and are finished in they are digested starting in the the . When we eat triglycerides, they first must be by bile salts in the dudenum and then are digested in the When we eat protein, it is digested starting in the and finishes digesting in the In general, digestion for any of these involves breaking down the molecules via reactions.arrow_forward4.
