What amino acid can be obtained by the reductive amination of γ-ketoglutaric acid

Answer:

Glutamic acid

Explanation:

Reductive amination is a form of amination that involves the conversion of a carbonyl group to an amine via an intermediate imine. The carbonyl group is most commonly a ketone or an aldehyde. In this reaction, in the presence of enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase, ammonium ion directly combines with alpha-ketoglutaric acid, to form glutamic acid (amino acid) and for this to happen, a reduced coenzyme (NADPH) is required.

The biosynthesis of glutamic acid  can be obtianed from the reductive amination of γ-ketoglutaric acid

γ-Ketoglutaric acid is a common precursor in synthesis of glutamic acid. Addition of NADPH and ammonia or alpha amino acid with   γ-Ketoglutaric acid produces glutamic acid. Enzymes involved in this reduction amination  process are glutamate dehydrogenase and/or transaminase.

<h2>The Forearm</h2>

Explanation:

The proximal end of the radius illustrates the relationship of form and function. The cup-like surface of the radial head articulates with the rounded shape of the capitulum. This forms a joint that allows for movement of elbows and forearms.

Radius and ulna are the two bones of the forearm.  Their proximal ends articulate and fit into the cup like end of the humerus. This forms a synovial joint called the elbow joint.  The movement of this joint allows the forearms to supinate and pronate.

Somatic cells of roundworms have four individual chromosomes per cell. How many chromosomes would you expect to find in an ovum
andrezito [222]

Answer:

2 chromosomes

Explanation:

The cell of an eukaryotic organism like roundworm contains the Nucleus, which harbors the genetic material embedded in the chromosome. The number of chromosomes of that organism is contained in each cell.

Somatic cells, also called body cells, are all other cells asides sperm and eggs, that form the tissues and organs of an organism. Somatic cells are usually diploid i.e two sets of chromosomes from each parent. In this question, the roundworm has 4 chromosomes in its somatic cell.

The reproductive cells or sex cells (sperm and eggs) of an organism always result from meiotic division of specialized cells.

Since meiosis is a kind of division that results in cells with their chromosome number reduced by half (haploid), it therefore means that the ovum and sperm cell will be expected to contain 2 chromosomes each.

This way, when fertilization occurs (sperm and egg fusion), the resulting zygote, which will eventually develop into an adult organism, will have 4 chromosomes.
