Question

explain (the process and name of the enzyme) in the metabolism of amino acids from the stomach, small intestine to the mitochondria of the liver

Chemical pathways by which living things function, especially those that provide cellular energy, such as the transformation of energy from food into the energy of ATP. Metabolism also focuses on chemical pathways involving the synthesis of new biomolecules and the elimination of waste.

The pH of human stomach acid ranges from 1.0 to 3.0, whereas a healthy esophagus has a pH of approximately 7.0. In gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), often called acid reflux, stomach acid flows backward from the stomach into the esophagus. Repeated episodes in which esophageal pH goes below 4.0, considered clinical acid reflux, can result in bleeding ulcers and damage to the esophageal lining. The data in the Figure, from a patient with GERD, show esophageal pH during a sleeping reflux event. How many minutes does it take to go from the peak of the reflux event (when pH is most acidic) to when the reflux event is over? Source: Based on T. Demeester et al. 1976. Patterns of gastroesophageal reflux in health and disease. Annals of Surgery 184:459469.
