AMINO ACID METABOLISM QUIZ

pyruvate or citric acid cycle intermediates

either acetyl CoA or acetoacetyl CoA

keto-sugars

multiple intermediates including pyruvate or citric acid cycle intermediates and acetyl CoA or acetoacetyl CoA

glutamate = hexanoic acid + NH3

glutamate = α-ketoglutarate + NH3
