(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The oxidized reactant, the reduced reactant, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the given reaction should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation-reduction reaction: Both the oxidation and reduction reaction occurs together in a chemical reaction. It is also known as redox reaction.

Change in the oxidation number of atoms involved in the reaction is one of the special characteristic of reduction reaction.

The number of electrons an atom tends to give up or gain in a chemical reaction is called oxidation number.

Oxidation: Losing electrons, increasing oxidation number.

Reduction: Gaining electron, decreasing oxidation number.

Oxidizing agent is a substance that removes electrons from another reactant in a chemical reaction and so it is reduced by taking electron onto itself and the reactant is oxidized by having its electron taken away.

Reducing agent is the element or compound in a redox reaction that donate an electron to another species and so it is oxidized.

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?
