The urea cycle can be summarized through the following reaction: O COO- || H₂N-C-OPO3 + H3N-CHCH2COO- O H₂N-C-NH2₂ + -OOCCH = CHCOO- 1. Write the reactions, using structural formulas that lead to the formation of carbamoyl phosphate and its subsequent incorporation into the urea cycle. Name the enzymes and how they are activated.

Question
The urea cycle can be summarized through the following reaction:

\[ \text{O} \]
\[ \| \]
\[ \text{H}_2\text{N-C-OPO}_3^{3-} \]  +  \[ \overset{\oplus}{\text{H}}_3\text{N-CHCH}_2\text{COO}^- \]  →  \[ \text{O} \]
\[ \| \]
\[ \text{H}_2\text{N-C-NH}_2 \] + \[ ^- \text{OOCCH}= \text{CHCOO}^- \]

1. Write the reactions, using structural formulas that lead to the formation of carbamoyl phosphate and its subsequent incorporation into the urea cycle. Name the enzymes and how they are activated.
