A

Glutamic acid and asparic acid
Glutamine and asparagine
The glutamine is reversed back to glutamic acid in the liver by glutaminase

@ step4

25
______ ATP is consumed to form 1 molecule of urea? And how many is produced?
4 ATP 2.5 ATP @ malate---oxaloacetate NET = -1. 5 ATP
26
What are the significance of urea cycle?
Detoxification of NH3 Disposal of waste products nh3 and biocarbonate Regulation of pH Bio synthesis of argenine
27
What's the difference between CPS1 AND CPS2?
Cps1-- mitochondria, requires cofactor NAG, urea synthesis, no inhibitor, Ammonia-N- donor Cps2-- cytosol, doesn't require cofactor, pyrimidine synthesis, CTP inhibitor, Glutamate-N-donor
