Answer:
The overall strategy employed in the catabolism of the carbon skeletons of the 20 amino acids is conversion to citric acid intermediates such as acetyl-CoA
Explanation:
The breakdown of the different carbon skeletons of the 20 amino acids is strategically channelled towards the citric acid cycle. Six major products are obtained in the catabolism of the carbon chain of amino acids and these products all enter the citrc acid cycle. The six major products are acetyl-CoA, α-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, oxaloacetate and pyruvate.
The amino acids that are broken down completely into acetoacetyl-CoA and/or acetyl-CoA are said to be ketogenic since they yield ketone bodies in the liver.
The amino acids that are broken down into α-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, oxaloacetate and pyruvate can be converted to glucose and glycogen and are said to be glucogenic. Pyruvate can further be converted to either acetyl-CoA or oxaloacetate. Some amino acids though are both ketogenic and glucogenic, e.g. tryptophan, threonine.
Answer:
No, they don't.
Explanation:
Trees need leaves for photosynthesis because leaves contain chlorophyll. As the article states, the food-making process stops after these trees lose their leaves. Some trees keep their leaves all year long.
Answer:
buffers
Explanation:
Buffers neutralize acids and bases.
Acceleration is a little more complicated. It is defined as the rate of change of the object's velocity over its change in time. ... Or, if the acceleration is negative, it's called deceleration and describes something slowing down. For something to speed up or slow down, it has to have a certain change in velocity
