The carbon attached to the alpha carboxyl and the alpha amino group is known as the alpha carbon. 2. All amino acids except glycine have four different groups attached to the alpha carbon. As a result, all amino acids have at least one asymmetric center (the alpha carbon).
I think it is catabolism though I am not sure.
Answer:
What is this?
Explanation:
Well Ik what it is, but what happens when I look it up??

Living things are made of types of molecules, known as macromolecules.
There are four major classes of biological macromolecules:
carbohydrates
lipids
proteins
nucleic acids
Each of these types of macromolecules performs a wide array of important functions within the cell; a cell cannot perform its role within the body without many different types of these crucial molecules. In combination, these biological macromolecules make up the majority of a cell’s dry mass. (Water molecules make up the majority of a cell’s total mass.) All the molecules both inside and outside of cells are situated in a water-based (i.e., aqueous) environment, and all the reactions of biological systems are occurring in that same environment.
