23 Short Answer Questions Draw the structures of reactants and products in the transamination in which glutamate and pyruvate are the starting materials. What cofactor is required for this reaction? Give the name and draw the structure of the α-keto acid resulting from the following amino acids that undergo transamination with α-ketoglutarate: (a) aspartate; (b) alanine. Show the reaction in which ammonia is formed from glutamate; include any required cofactors. Describe the reactions and the role of the glucose-alanine cycle. Describe the three general mechanisms for disposing of excess nitrogen obtained in the diet. Which organisms use each mechanism? During starvation, more urea production occurs. Explain this observation (in 20 words or less). Name at least three amino acids that can be converted directly (in one step) into pyruvate or any citric acid cycle intermediate, and name that intermediate formed from each. Degradation of amino acids yields compounds that are common intermediates in the major metabolic pathways. Explain the distinction between glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids in terms of their metabolic fates.
