Interpretation Introduction

a) Label subpart

Interpretation:

The relation of P/O ratio with (H+/2e-) ratio, and (P/H+) ratio.

Concept introduction:

P/O ratio (phosphate/oxygen ratio) determines the amount of ATP produced by the transfer of electrons during the electron transport chain, that ends with the acceptance of electrons by oxygen molecule. P/O ratio is dependent on number of hydrogen atoms that transport across the mitochondrial membrane.

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?
