Which molecule is common to the metabolism of carbohydrates fatty acids amino acids and alcohol?
Acetyl-CoA is the molecule common to the metabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids, and alcohol. It serves as a central molecule in cellular metabolism, being the entry point for the citric acid cycle and playing a key role in the production of energy through the metabolism of various nutrients.
How can one amino acid have a great effect?
If you mean how does changing one amino acid have a great effect, that single change may alter the shape of the protein in a critical area, which can make the protein function poorly or not at all.
What is an amino alcohol?
An amino alcohol is an organic compound containing both an amino and an aliphatic hydroxyl functional group.
What is the fate of amino group in the metabolism of amino acids for energy?
Excreted as urea. this was the answer for my test
Chemical process in a cell?
Metabolism
Amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism are said to be?
Essential
What is the vitamin that is converted to the coenzyme PLP which is active in amino acid metabolism?
The vitamin that is converted to the coenzyme PLP (pyridoxal phosphate) is vitamin B6. PLP is a crucial coenzyme involved in the metabolism of amino acids, especially in the transamination process where amino groups are transferred between amino acids.
What type of reaction removes the -NH2 group in an amino acid to prepare the amino acids for further metabolism?
dehydration
Is urea a product of fatty acid metabolism?
No, urea is a byproduct of protein metabolism, specifically the breakdown of amino acids. Fatty acid metabolism primarily produces acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle for energy production.
Is tyrosine an alcohol?
No, tyrosine is not an alcohol. It is an amino acid that plays a role in the production of neurotransmitters and hormones in the body.
In the metabolism of amino acids for energy what is the fate of the amino group?
During amino acid metabolism for energy, the amino group is removed from the amino acid through deamination, forming ammonia. The ammonia is then converted into urea in the liver and excreted in the urine, while the remaining carbon skeleton of the amino acid can be further broken down to generate energy through pathways like the citric acid cycle.
The disease phenylketonuria is related chiefly to abnormal metabolism of?
a certain amino acid
