Question

Although most amino acids are used to synthesize proteins, they can meet other fates. Which of the statements are true about amino acids and metabolism? True about Amino Acids and Metabolism False about Amino Acids and Metabolism Answer Bank Amino acids are used to synthesize glucose only when blood glucose levels are high. When needed for energy, carbon skeletons from amino acids are oxidized through glycolysis. Nitrogen from amino acid metabolism is incorporated into urea and excreted in urine. Amino acids are converted to fatty acids when excess energy is consumed. Amino acids can be used to produce critical nitrogen-containing compounds. The liver is the main site of amino acid metabolism. After the removal of the amino group, the remaining carbon skeleton can be used for energy or the synthesis of glucose or fat.
