Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The timing of sensation of the tastes (salty, bitter, sour and sweet) should be compared.

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?)
