Chapter 25.6, Problem 25.9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given essential amino acid should be classified glucogenic, ketogenic or both

Concept Introduction:

Amino acids: Compound that contains an amino group, a carboxyl group a side chain that is specific to each amino acid.

Several type of amino acids the amino group is on the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group.

They are molecules containing an amino group a carboxyl group a carboxylic acid group and side-chain that is specific to each amino acids.

Essential amino acid:

  • This type of amino acid that cannot be synthesised by the organism or can only make in inadequate and therefore must be supplied in the diet.
  • Need to be consumed from the diet
  • Than the eight to ten essential amino acid
  • Depends on species and physiological state.  

Nonessential amino acid

One of 11 amino acids that are synthesizes in the body and are therefore not necessary in the die.

The urea cycle rids of the body of excess nitrogen by converting it to a form that can be excreted in the urine. Label the steps of the urea cycle shown in the diagram and move the molecules in their positions.
Label each of the intermediates in the urea cycle. H₂N NH₂ NH +H,N A -OOC HN- H H₂N- H₂N= COO NH NH₂ NH H H COO- +H,N COO +H,N COO- +H,N COO- B C D Answer Bank argininosuccinate arginine ornithine citrulline
Deficiencies of carnitine, carnitine acyltransferases, or carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase affect the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids. Many of the symptoms are similar, and include hypoketotic hypoglycemia, low ketone levels and low blood sugar with fasting, and damage to the liver, heart, or muscles due to fatty acid buildup in those tissues. Symptom severity varies with the form of the deficiency. The following abbreviations are used: carnitine acyltransferase (carnitine palmitoyltransferase), CPT and carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase, CACT. Identify each symptom or effect as a deficiency of CPT I, CPT II, or CACT. CPT I deficiency CPT II deficiency CACT deficiency Answer Bank acyl carnitine not transported into mitochondrial matrix acyl carnitine not converted to carnitine in matrix long-chain fatty acids not transferred to carnitine
