Answer:

Tyrosine.

Explanation:

Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid, it is part of proteins and is considered an aromatic amino acid. Its synthesis occurs from the hydroxylation of phenylalanine as long as it contains an adequate supply of this amino acid.Phenylketonuria is a hereditary disease whose main treatment is dietary restriction of the amino acid phenylalanine. People with phenylketonuria may have low levels of the amino acid tyrosine in their blood.Phenylalanine hydroxylase is an enzyme that converts phenylalanine to tyrosine. Deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is a congenital error of metabolism.

What are the products of Anaerobic Respiration in yeast?
8090 [49]

The products of anaerobic respiration in yeast are carbon dioxide and ethanol.

<h3>Anaerobic respiration</h3>

The two pyruvate molecules produced in anaerobic respiration in yeast are converted to ethanol, instead.
