Other questions in this quiz

2. What does the second option of these two routes do?

  • it is oxidatively deaminated, which releases an ammonium ion
  • it can contribute its amino group directly for synthesis of urea
  • it contributes its ammonium ion directly for synthesis of urea

3. What does glutamate dehydrogenase do?

  • catalyses the oxidative deamination of glutamate
  • catalyses the oxidation of glutarate
  • moves amino acids between glutamate and glutamic acid

4. (Use the drawings of your plates for the rest of the questions.) What's in

  • Nothing (no amino acids produced)
  • Pyruvate
  • Glutamate

5. After the ethyl acetate is added to tubes 5-10, all ten tubes were centrifuged. What was the purpose of this?

  • to remove ethyl acetate (5-10) and separate the 2,4 dinitrophenyl-hydrazones
  • to remove precipitated protein and to separate the ethyl acetate (5-10)
  • to extract the ethyl acetate and separate the 2,4 dinitrophenyl-hydrazones
