Question
Chapter 23, Problem 24RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The net reaction of the urea cycle is to be written. The way in which the urea cycle is linked to the citric acid cycle is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
In nitrogen
In the urea cycle, nitrogen which gets released by the catabolism of amino acids is converted to urea.
This cycle also plays an important role in the biosynthesis of proteins.
