Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
For given reaction, the type of reaction has to be classified.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation:
In a reaction, the loss of electrons from an element or addition of oxygen for an element is known as oxidation reaction.
Reduction:
In a reaction, the gain of electrons from an element or addition of hydrogen is known as reduction reaction.
Transamination:
In order to from new amino acids, the transfer of an amino acid to a ketoacid in a
Elimination reaction:
The types of organic reaction where the substituents are removed from the molecule in single step are double step mechanism is known as elimination reaction.
Addition reaction:
The reaction in which molecules combine together to form a larger molecule with no other extra products

Based upon knowledge of oxidation of bioorganic compounds and howmuch energy is released during their oxidation, rank the following, from most to least, with respect to how much energy would be produced from each during their oxidation. Explain your placement for each one.arrow_forwardBiochemistry Question.For the metabolism of amino acids what is the first step for theirbreakdown? Why is it necessary for this breakdown product to be transported to the liver? For the catabolism of the carbon backbone of these amino acids, there are 7 entry points into the “standard” metabolic pathways. List these 7 entry points and which amino acids are metabolized to these entry points. Please help. Thank you!arrow_forwardBiochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you.
