Chapter 22, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason should be determined for the yield of 8 acetyl-CoA molecules by using only 7 CoA molecules.

Concept introduction:

The fatty acids are degraded in a sequential manner, which is two carbon units at the carboxyl end of the molecule are removed in each step. The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids takes place inside the mitochondria, and it includes the oxidation of beta carbon of the fatty 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?
