Below is a list of steps that occur after an exercising muscle cell begins degrading amino acids for ATP production. For each step, choose (A) if the process occurs in the muscle cell and (B) if the process occurs in the liver. It will be easiest to answer this question if you first put the steps in order, then decide in which organ they occur. ______ Alanine is transaminated with a-ketoglutarate. ______ Branched chain amino acids are transaminated with a-ketoglutarate. ______ Glutamate is deaminated. ______ Glutamate is transaminated with pyruvate. ______ Ketoacid skeletons resulting from branch chain amino acids enter the CAC. ______ Pyruvate enters gluconeogenesis. ______ Urea is formed from the nitrogen removed from the original branched chain amino acid.
