(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The universal donor and universal acceptor in the ABO blood types.

Concept introduction: ABO blood group system is the classification of human blood based on the presence or absence of the antigens A and B on the surface of the red blood cells. Type A, type B, type AB, or type O are the different blood groups in the ABO blood grouping. The ABO blood group types were discovered by the Karl Landsteiner in the year 1901.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The various compatibility of blood plasma from an individual with one ABO blood type with an individual with a different ABO blood type.

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?
