Chapter 26, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of ATP equivalents expended in the synthesis of ATP needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is a small molecule and is called as the main energy currency of the cell. The energy produced from biological reactions like breakdown of nucleotide are stored as ATP molecules and can be used for several cellular reactions which required energy.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of ATP equivalents expended in the synthesis of GTP needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

GTP stands for guanylyl imidodiphosphate here, guanosine-5’-truphospahte is a substance that is incorporated into the growing chain of polymer and utilized as a energy supplier in the synthesis of proteins.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The number of ATP equivalents expended in the synthesis of UTP needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Uridine-5'-triphosphate consists of organic base U attached with the 1’ carbo of carbohydrate and forms ester bond with tri-phosphoric acid at 5’ position. This is also known as pyrimidine glycoside triphosphate. It acts as a substrate for ribonucleic acid’s synthesis in the transcription process.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The number of ATP equivalents expended in the synthesis of CTP needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Cytidine triphosphate may be a pyrimidine glycoside triphosphate. CTP, very like adenosine triphosphate, consists of a carbohydrate sugar, and 3 phosphate teams. The main distinction between the 2 molecules is that the base used, that in CTP is C. CTP may be a substrate within the synthesis of ribonucleic acid.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
