Question
Chapter 27, Problem 70P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Why carbon skeleton and nitrogen containing portions of amino acids are catabolized separately should be explained?
Concept Introduction:
- Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler forms, thus producing energy.
- Amino acids are can be catabolised to produce energy.
- The carbon skeleton and nitrogen containing portions of the amino acids are catabolised separately because the nitrogen containing portion has no use and the carbon skeleton portion can be used as a source of energy.
