Histidine is degraded to -ketoglutarate and is described as a glucogenic amino acid glucogenic amino acid ketogenic amino acid keto-gluco amino acid Which of the following amino acids is considered as both ketogenic and glucogenic? Valine Tryptophan Lysine None of these A glucogenic amino acid is one which is degraded to keto-sugars either acetyl CoA or acetoacetyl CoA pyruvate or citric acid cycle intermediates none of the above Which of the following is the best described glucogenic amino acid? Lysine Tryptophan Valine None of these A person with phenylketonuria cannot convert phenylalanine to tyrosine phenylalanine to isoleucine phenol into ketones phenylalanine to lysine Oxidative deamination is the conversion of an amino group from an amino acid to a keto acid acid to a carboxylic acid plus ammonia acid to a keto acid plus ammonia group from an amino acid to a carboxylic acid An example of a transamination process is glutamate = hexanoic acid + NH3 aspartate + hexanoic acid = glutamate + oxaloacetate aspartate + ketoglutarate = glutamate + oxaloacetate glutamate = -ketoglutarate + NH3 Transamination is the process where carboxyl group is transferred from amino acid -amino group is removed from the amino acid polymerisation of amino acid takes place none of the above The most toxic compounds is tyrosine B. phenylpyruvate lysine D. phenylalanine A person with phenylketonuria is advised not to consume which of the following products?

Tyrosine is degraded to acetoacetyl CoA and fumarate and is described as a glucogenic amino acid ketogenic amino acid ketogenic and glucogenic amino acid keto-gluco amino acid Transaminase enzymes are present in liver pancreas intestine none of these A person with phenylketonuria will convert phenylalanine to phenylpyruvate phenylalanine to isoleucine phenylpyruvate to phenylalanine tyrosine to phenylalanine An example of the oxidative deamination is glutamate = hexanoic acid + NH3 aspartate + -ketoglutarate = glutamate + oxaloacetate glutamate = -ketoglutarate + NH3 aspartate + hexanoic acid = glutamate + Oxaloacetate In the normal breakdown of phenylalanine, it is initially degraded to fumarate B. tryrosine lysine D. phenylpuruvate Transamination is the transfer of an amino acid to a carboxylic acid plus ammonia group from an amino acid to a keto acid acid to a keto acid plus ammonia group from an amino acid to a carboxylic acid Lysine is degraded to acetoacetyl CoA and is described as a ketogenic amino acid glucogenic amino acid keto-gluco amino acid none of these
