Transcript text: Which of the following is one of the byproducts of protein catabolism?
Gamma proteins
Keto acids
Albumin
Glycogen
Solution
The answer is the second one (B): Keto acids.
Explanation for each option:
Gamma proteins: These are a type of protein, specifically immunoglobulins, and are not byproducts of protein catabolism.
Keto acids: These are indeed byproducts of protein catabolism. When proteins are broken down, amino acids are deaminated, resulting in the formation of keto acids.
Albumin: This is a type of protein found in the blood and is not a byproduct of protein catabolism.
Glycogen: This is a form of stored glucose in the liver and muscles and is not related to the byproducts of protein catabolism.
Summary:
Keto acids are one of the byproducts of protein catabolism.
