Amino acid degradation and biosynthesis are related metabolic processes, but they are not identical. Indicate two ways in which they
are similar and one in which they are different. Be as specific as you can.
Transamination is a process by which an amine group is transferred from an amino acid to a keto
acid resulting in the formation of a new amino acid.
C
O True
O False
The catalytic activity of enzymes depends on the presence of appropriate environmental
conditions. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme found in the stomach and facilitates the digestion
of large proteins.
If pepsin is removed from this acidic environment of the stomach and is instead placed in
a more basic environment, it will cease to function. Describe the specific effect that a
change in environmental pH will have on pepsin and explain how this change can lead to
inhibition of its catalytic activity.
Respond in 4 to 6 complete sentences.
