Frage 5
Frage
Why must proteins not be stored in high quantities?
Frage 6
Frage
Describe the process of deamination.
Frage 7
Frage
What happens to keto acid after the process of deamination?
Antworten
-
Goes to be used in respiration directly.
-
Goes to be used in protein synthesis.

Frage 8
Frage
Why must Ammonia be converted to Urea?
Frage 9
Frage
Describe the ornithine cycle.
Antworten
-
Ammonia is combined with CO2 to produce urea. Urea is passed back into the blood and transported to the kidneys. The kidneys filter the urea from the blood and stores it in the kidney.
-
Ammonia is combined with CO2 to produce keto acid. Keto acid is transported to the kidneys via the blood. Kidneys filter the keto acid form the blood and is stored in the bladder.
-
Ammonia is combined with CO2 to produce urea. Urea is passed back into the blood and transported to the liver. The liver filters the urea from the blood and stores it in the liver.
