a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The metabolic substrate that can be produced from the carbon of alanine.

Introduction:

Degradation of amino acids takes place during protein metabolism. Degradation of each amino acid produces the intermediate of the citric acid cycle, and in this way, amino acids contribute to the production of energy. The intermediate produced by a particular amino acid depends on the number of carbon in that amino acid.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The metabolic substrate that can be produced from the carbon of aspartate.

Introduction:

Degradation of amino acids takes place during protein metabolism. Degradation of each amino acid produces the intermediate of the citric acid cycle, and in this way, amino acids contribute to the production of energy. The intermediate produced by a particular amino acid depends on the number of carbon in that amino acid.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The metabolic substrate that can be produced from the carbon of valine.

Introduction:

Degradation of amino acids takes place during protein metabolism. Degradation of each amino acid produces the intermediate of the citric acid cycle, and in this way, amino acids contribute to the production of energy. The intermediate produced by a particular amino acid depends on the number of carbon in that amino acid.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The metabolic substrate that can be produced from the carbon of glutamine.

Introduction:

Degradation of amino acids takes place during protein metabolism. Degradation of each amino acid produces the intermediate of the citric acid cycle, and in this way, amino acids contribute to the production of energy. The intermediate produced by a particular amino acid depends on the number of carbon in that amino acid.
