(a)
To determine: The amino acids that are purely glucogenic.
Concept introduction:
Protein molecules consist of hundreds of amino acids linked by the peptide bonds. They are built from twenty common amino acids. The structure of amino acids is the same but the R-groups in their side chains differ. Based upon the
(b)
To determine: The amino acids that are purely ketogenic.
Concept introduction:
Protein molecules consist of hundreds of amino acids linked by the peptide bonds. They are built from twenty common amino acids. The structure of amino acids is the same but the R-groups in their side chains differ. Based upon the metabolic fates, the amino acids can be either ketogenic or glucogenic or both ketogenic and glucogenic.
(c)
To determine: The amino acids that are both glucogenic and ketogenic.
