What is the process by which an amino acid is used to make glucose?
For an amino acid to become glucose, it must enter through the different members of the Kreb's Cycle. The first reaction is to remove the amino group of the amino acid before entering the cycle. There are 5 amino acids that enter through; pyruvate: alanine, cysteine, glycine, serine and threonine alpha ketoglutarate: glutamate, glutamine, arginine, histidine, proline oxaloacetate: aspartic acid and asparagine fumarate: phenylalanine and tyrosine succinyl coA: isoleucine, methionine, valine
Why is the amine group of an amino acid toxic to cells?
The amino group of an amino acid contains the elements Nitrogen and Hydrogen. By itself, it is not toxic to cells. But after deamination where the amino group is removed from the amino acid, the amino group is then converted into ammonia. Ammonia is toxic to cells, and also contains Nitrogen and Hydrogen, but it has a different chemical formula from the amino group.
The Cori cycle involves the interconversion of?
A very simplistic answer is: lactates are converted by glycolysis in glucose; the process is reversible.
What is the conversion of amino acids and glycerol into glucose called?
Making glucose form an amino acid is a type of a real neat trick. Normally plants make glucose from a reaction involving carbon dioxide and hydrogen with the hydrogen produced from water by photosynthesis. Glucose is a raw material for the production of amino acids. The other way around does not work.
What is the waste product from the conversion amino acid into glucose?
PEE, nitrogen...
What amino acid is not present in glucose?
No amino acid is present in glucose. Glucose is a carbohydrate, not a protein.
What is glycogenic amino acid?
Glycogenic amino acid is an amino acid that can be converted into glycogen bodies throught glycogenesis
Amino acids that are convertible to glucose?
protein is of course one of the last sources for fuel, but if ur body needs it, the protein will lose its amino group and will go through cellular respiration starting at glycolysis.the amino acid isn't converted to glucose.
Which amino acid is considered both ketogenic and glucogenic?
Phenylalanine, is catabolized to fumarate and acetoacetate and is therefore ketogenic and glucogenic. Also threonine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine can be either ketogenic or glucogenic.
Glucose is to a starch as a. a steroid is to a lipid b. a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid c. an amino acid is to a protein d. a polypeptide is to an amino acid?
an amino acid is to a protein. ie starch is made of a chain of glucose with side branching. aa's combine to make a protein, to simplify things
What is the fate of any lactic acid produced in the muscles?
Once sufficient oxygen is restored, the lactic acid produced via anaerobic glycolysis can be utilized for energy or reconverted into glucose by the liver and other tissues (a process known as oxidation).
What are the only materials that can enter the cell?
Oxygen, amino acid and glucose.
Does Secondary active transport reabsorbs glucose and amino acid?
yes
What is example of monomer?
glucose as cellulose is the polymer of glucose
What three things are absorbed in small intestine?
Protein, Amino acid, and glucose.
What is converted into lactic acid?
Basically, carbohydrates such as glucose, sucrose etc. It is actually pyruvate which gets converted into lactic acid.
Is cellulose and amino acids proper paring for a polymer and its monomer?
No. Cellulose and glucose. Protein is the polymer and amino acid is the monomer.
