Summary Introduction

To determine: When the bacteria that grow at 20ºC are warmed to 30ºC will they produce the membrane lipid with saturated or unsaturated fatty acids.

Concept introduction: Membrane lipids are compound that belongs to the group, which forms the double-layered surface on all cells.  Phospholipids, glycolipids, and cholesterol are the three major classes of membrane lipids. Membrane lipids can form lipid bilayer that keep the watery interior of the cell separates from the watery exterior.

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?
