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
What else can I help you with?
What is converting the info on the mRNA into a sequence of amino acids that make up a protein?
First we convert the nucleic acid into a messenger RNA, mRNA, by the process of transcription. Then, in the ribosome, we convert this mRNA unto a polypeptide ( the amino acid sequence ) by the process of translation.
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 substances does a plant need to make amino acid and protein from glucose?
Plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and other trace elements in addition to glucose to produce amino acids and proteins. Nitrogen in the form of nitrates or ammonium is particularly important for the synthesis of amino acids and ultimately proteins essential for plant growth and development.
How might one missing nucleotide or the insertion of one additional nucleotide in a DNA strand alter the formation of the translated protein?
Deletion of just one nucleotide in a protein-coding part of a gene will cause a "frameshift mutation." Since the nucleotides are read in groups of three (codons) along the gene, the groupings will change and the protein that results is likely to be completely different.
Is polypeptide an amino acid?
No, a polypeptide is not an amino acid. A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are the individual units that make up a polypeptide chain.
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 produces protein in your body?
our body cam make protein in the form of amino acid there are twenty amino acid in which all can be synthesized but in the twenty 10 amino acid is synthesized by simple process and the other 10 takes a long process so that they shouled be taken by diet
Why is the R group in amino acids?
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.

How does the body make glucose from protein?
Glucose can't be converted to proteins by addition of chemicals . But during metbolic reaction products formed from glucose are used to make amino acids by addition of amino group which form proteins .
What smaller units make up proteins?
amino acids
Which groups make up amino acid?
Carboxylic group + Amino group

What is the base unit of a protein?
Amino acids make up proteins.
