34. DETERMINE WHETHER THE STATEMENT IS TRUE OR FALSE A) The fate of amino acids in the liver: - It will enter the citric acid cycle. - It will be converted into lipid. - It will be converted to acetyl CoA. - It serves as a precursor for hormones. - It will synthesize the genetic materials. B) Regarding amino acid degradation: - It is catalyzed by aminotransferases. - It involves both transamination and oxidative phosphorylation. - It involves the removal of the side chain from the carbon skeleton. - Nitrogen to be excreted through urea is in the form of glutamate. - Nitrogen removal needs keto acid molecules in the amino acid degradation pathway.
