Amino acid catabolism involves the breakdown of 20 amino acids all of which contain nitrogen but have different carbon skeletons

. What overall strategy is used to deal with the variations in C-fragments that are produced? Convert the carbon skeletons into nucleotides Convert the amino groups into nucleotides Convert the carbon skeletons into glucose Convert the carbon skeletons into Acetyl CoA

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.

Use the following table to answer the question:
postnew [5]

Translating the code by the table informed, the message found in rna will be CAT-GTA-TGG.

<h3>What is the genetic code of DNA is RNA?</h3>

The genetic code is made up of four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and uracil (U). The combination of these bases determines the amino acid necessary for the formation of a protein.

Translation is a process in which the message contained in the mRNA molecule will be read by the ribosome, decoding the nucleic acid language into the protein language. In this case, we have:

GTA-CAT-ACC
