Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.17EP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: To name the three major sources of amino acids for the amino acid pool.
Concept introduction: The total free amount of amino acid available for use in the body constitutes the amino acid pool. It contains both essential and non-essential amino acids.
There is no fixed location within the body where free amino acids "assemble". These free amino acids are available all through the body, amassing in the blood and inside cells where they are accessible when required for further use for example in protein synthesis. Amino acids present in the amino acid pool are used in 4 different ways in varying percentage.
