Describe how inorganic nitrogen is assimilated into glutamate and the other 19 amino acids used for protein synthesis. What are the products of amino acid oxidation and how do humans dispose of their nitrogenous waste?
nitrogen assimilation is the formation of organic nitrogen compounds present in the environment. Usually ammonium is the most preferred inorganic nitrogen source for microorganisms. ammonium assimilation requires the transport of this ion into the cells and its further incorporation into carbon skeletons.
urea is the product of amino acid oxidation.
when cells break down proteins, they produce nitrogenous wastes, such as urea. the excretory system in human serves to remove these nitrogenous waste products as well as excess salts and water from the body.

Nonprotein amino acids produced by plants: Select all that apply. are not used by plants in protein synthesis interfere with protein synthesis in herbivores are plant amino acids not incorporated into animal protein are used to produce nitrogen-rich chemical defenses such as alkaloids
The second step in the catabolism of most amino acids is the removal of the nitrogen atom from glutamate by oxidative deamination. In this reaction, glutamate is converted to an a-keto acid. Modify the structure to show the a-keto acid product. Select Draw Rings More Erase + remaining products H3N I--6-5- -0-5-5- O enzyme NAD +,0 - Enter the chemical formulas for the remaining products. remaining products: Select Draw Rings More Erase I I-o-o- + remaining products CH2° + NAD...
