Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The metabolic intermediate formed from the atoms of carbon of cysteine should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compound that is composed of an amino group and carboxylic group along with an organic chain is known as an amino acid.
The intermediate formed during the metabolism process is termed as a metabolic intermediate.
(b)
Interpretation:
The metabolic intermediate formed from the atoms of carbon of aspartic acid should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compound that is composed of an amino group and carboxylic group along with an organic chain is known as an amino acid.
Metabolism may be defined as the process of breakdown of nutrients into smaller molecules (catabolic process) and the combination of smaller molecules to form complex molecules (anabolic process) to provide energy.
The intermediate formed during the metabolism process is termed as a metabolic intermediate.
(c)
Interpretation:
The metabolic intermediate formed from the atoms of carbon of valine should be predicted.
