How to separate amino acids from fatty acids?

=> The liver can use these amino acids directly for protein synthesis.

But it can also use any excess amino acids and convert these into glucose and/or fatty acids.

• And, for fatty acids, the main precursor for fatty acid synthesis is the molecule acetyl-CoA

Answer 2

Answer:

The structure of amino acids is a carboxylic acid group (COOH), an H, an amine group (NH2), and an R group bound to a central carbon. the R group can be a hydrogen or something more complex (depending on what amino acid it is). If you string amno acids together (COOH group on one bonding to NH2 group on another with the removal of water) you get a protein.

A fatty acid is R-COOH. The R will have only carbon and hydrogen in it. It may be saturated (all single bonds) or not. If you bond three fatty acids to glycerol (removing 1 water molecule for each fatty acid) and you get a fat/oil.
