Ornithine Cycle, Deamination and Detoxification
Across
- 4. the ornithine cycle occurs in these two places
- 5. the excretory product formed from the breakdown of excess amino acids
- 8. the enzyme which breaks down ethanal into ethanoic acid
- 9. the conversion of toxic molecules to less or non toxic molecules
- 11. keto acid then enters into this process
- 14. the cells where detoxification occurs
- 15. the organ where detoxification occurs
Down
- 1. the condition when fatty acids are converted back to lipids due to the lack of NAD and are stored in hepatocytes causing the liver to become enlarged
- 2. the amino acid that is formed in the second stage of the ornithine cycle
- 3. the enzyme which breaks down ethanol into ethanal
- 4. ammonia combines with ...... to produce urea
- 6. three molecules of ...... are produced during the ornithine cycle
- 7. the organic compound formed in deamination
- 10. urea can be passed into the blood and transported to these organs
- 12. very soluble and very toxic
- 13. the amino acid that is formed in the first stage of the ornithine cycle
