Which of the following statements regarding the metabolism o

Which of the following statements regarding the metabolism of amino acids in mammals is FALSE? The catabolism of amino acids produces ammonia, which is toxic. The carbon skeletons of glycogenic amino acids cannot be to make ATP. It is possible for the carbon skeletons of both glycogenic and amino acids to ultimately be found in. The carbon skeletons of some amino acids can be used by the liver to make glucose.

Solution

The carbon skeletons of glucogenic amino acids cannot be catabolized to make ATP

Explanation: A glucogenic amino acid is an amino acid that can be converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis. Glucose then undergoes glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP.
