amino acid metabolism 1

An example of a transamination process is

• glutamate = hexanoic acid + NH₃

• aspartate + hexanoic acid = glutamate + oxaloacetate

• aspartate + α ketoglutarate = glutamate + oxaloacetate

• glutamate = α-ketoglutarate + NH₃

Transamination is the process where

• carboxyl group is transferred from amino acid

• α-amino group is removed from the amino acid

• polymerisation of amino acid takes place

• none of the above

co enzyme of transaminases is

• Biotin

• Pyridoxal Phosphate

• Tetrahydrobiopterin

• Tetrahydrofolate

which of the following sentences is true?

• Urea cycle takes place exclusively in liver and kidney

• balanced diet leads to increase in urea cycle enzyme levels

• urea cycle is quantitatively the most important disposal route for ammonia

• balanced diet leads to decrease in urea cycle enzyme levels

Relation between Urea cycle and Krebs cycle

• CO2 and ATP needed for urea cycle produced from TCA cycle

• • Fumarate produced from urea cycle can be oxidized in TCA cycle.

• all of the above

• none of the above
