Hello student here the question is given and the question is about the protein used as a energy source.
00:09
So this protein is also used as an energy source when the cells are under starving period.
00:20
So this is going to be used as energy source used during the starvation.
00:29
We can say this starvation period when there's sufficient carbohydrate or fats are not available.
00:39
So this time the protein is going to use as an energy source and we know the protein is a polypeptide.
00:47
So this is made up of the amino acid.
00:51
So these amino acid have their functional group.
00:57
So if we take the simpler example of amino acid, so it having there a minoterminal as well as the carboxyl terminal and one edge and another one is the r group.
01:09
So these things are present in case of amino acid.
01:13
So these amino terminal has to be removed before it using as a energy source.
01:20
So these amino terminal removal end done by the process of deamination.
01:25
So in this process, these amino terminal is removed and ammonia as a form of ammonia and it is going to release as a waste product because it is a very toxic.
01:39
So converted into the urea and removing from the body.
01:44
So after that, these carbon skeleton are left.
01:48
So these carbon skeleton can be used as a energy source as well as there is.
01:55
Another formation of glucose synthesis and all.
01:58
So here a compound is given which is the glutamic acid.
02:04
So this glutamic acid is going to convert it into this alpha keto glutarate...
