Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.49CP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Order of the compounds in the pathway when glutamate is converted to glycogen has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
- The citric acid cycle includes a series of
oxidation-reduction reactions in mitochondria that results in the oxidation of an acetyl group to two molecules of carbon dioxide and reduce the coenzymes that are reoxidized through the electron transport chain, linked to the formation of ATP - Transamination of amino acid is the reaction in which amino group is converted to keto acid and formation of a new amino acid takes place.
- Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of a compound due the reaction with water.
- Addition of oxygen and loss of hydrogen is called oxidation.
- Decarboxylation is the removal of
