Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1MTE
(a)
Summary Introduction
To explain: The comparison and contrast strategies for the elimination of waste nitrogen and carbon dioxide in a terrestrial mammal.
Concept introduction: Waste products like nitrogen and carbon dioxide are continuously produced and released from the body. Carbon dioxide is a gaseous waste product and is released in the form of gas in aerobic respiration through lungs. Nitrogen is released from the body in the form of urea and uric acid through the kidney.
(b)
Summary Introduction
To explain: The comparison and contrast strategies for the elimination of waste nitrogen and carbon dioxide in a saltwater fish.
Concept introduction: Waste products like nitrogen and carbon dioxide are continuously produced and released from the body. Carbon dioxide is a gaseous waste product and is released in the form of gas in aerobic respiration, through the lungs. Nitrogen is released from the body in the form of urea, ammonia, and uric acid, through the kidney.

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?)
