Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Arginine depends on the synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate, which is formed by the combination of ammonia and carbon dioxide during the urea cycle pathway. Histidine and lysine are formed by unique pathways that do not require carbamoyl phosphate, while glutamine and asparagine rely on ammonium ion transfer from glutamate through enzymes known as glutamine synthetases.
