Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.11UKC
In the diagram shown here, fill in the sources for the amino acid pool.
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The missing sources for the amino acids pool has to be filled.
Concept introduction:
- Amino acid had both amino functional group and carboxyl functional group in a molecule.
- Amino acid pool is the entire collection of free amino acids in the whole body.
Explanation of Solution
Free amino acids are present throughout the body, in cells and the extracellular fluids. This pool is supplied by few sources include,
- Non-protein nitrogen compounds
- Dietary protein
- Tissue protein etc.
Conclusion
The missing sources for the amino acids pool was filled.
