Question
Chapter 25, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine the C atom in chorismate which is radioactive.
Concept Introduction:
Amino acids- The organic compounds which join together to form proteins. Upon digestion of proteins or when they are broken, the amino acids are left behind.
PEP is derived from phosphate and enol of pyruvate. Through the shikimate pathway, it is used for chrosimate synthesis.
