Chapter 17.2, Problem 17.3CIAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the given compounds has to be examined whether it is acidic, basic or neither.

Concept Introduction:

Carboxylic acid: One OH group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as RCOOH

Ester: One OR' group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as RCOOR'. The hydrogen atom of COOH is replaced by an alkyl group.

Salicylic acid: It is a benzoic acid with OH group on the ortho position. It has COOH  and OH groups.

Acidic properties of acid: The substituents of high electronegativity (OH), (Cl) and (NH3+) near the carboxylic groups increase the acidity of carboxylic acids.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
