第一节 The nitrogen cycle Nitrogen exists predominantly in an oxidized state in the environment, occurring principally as n2 in the atmosphere or as nitrate ion (NO3) in the soils and oceans. Its acquisition by biological systems is accompanied by its reduction to ammonium ion (NH4) and the incorporation of nh4 into organic lin kage as amino group The reduction of NO3to NH4 occurs in green plants, various fungi, and certain bacteria in a two-step meta bolic pathway known as nitrate assimilation
第一节 The nitrogen cycle Nitrogen exists predominantly in an oxidized state in the environment, occurring principally as N2 in the atmosphere or as nitrate ion (NO3 - ) in the soils and oceans. Its acquisition by biological systems is accompanied by its reduction to ammonium ion (NH4 + ) and the incorporation of NH4 + into organic linkage as amino group. The reduction of NO3 - to NH4 + occurs in green plants, various fungi, and certain bacteria in a two-step metabolic pathway known as nitrate assimilation
第一节 The nitrogen cycle The formation of nH4 from gas is termed nitrogen fixation. fixation is an exclusively prokaryotic process. No animals are capable of either nitrogen fixation or nitrate assimilation Animals release excess nitrogen in a reduced form. either as nhat or as organic nitrogenous compounds such as urea. The release of n occurs both during life and as a consequence of microbial decomposition following death

第一节 The nitrogen cycle Various bacteria return the reduced forms of nitrogen back to the environment by oxidizing them. The oxidation of nh4 to NO3 is performed by nitrifying bacteria. Nitrate nitrogen also returns to the atmosphere as n2 as result of the metabolic activity of denitrifying bacteria

Sources of amino acids for animals Dietary proteins are digested into amino acids in the gastrointestinal〔胃 i)tract via the action of pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidases and aminopeptidases
Dietary proteins are digested into amino acids in the gastrointestinal(胃 肠) tract via the action of pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidases and aminopeptidases. Sources of amino acids for animals
Pepsin: the first enzyme Gastric glands in discovered(18th centur) stomach linin Parietal cells (secrete HCl Chief cells (secrete pepsinogen) Stomach Gastric mucosa Pancreas pepsinogen (secretes gastrin) pepsI Pancreatic duet Exocrine cells of Da互 creas Rough ER pH Zymogen Zymogens granule active proteases Collecting duct Villi of small intestine Small o Villus Intestine. and amin Intestinal mucosa Degradation absorption (absorbs amino acids) of dietary proteins Essential amino acids
Proteins (but not pepsin) unfolded Absorbed as tri- & dipeptides, and amino acids Degradation & absorption of dietary proteins Pepsin: the first enzyme discovered (18th century). proteases Essential amino acids
Overall fate of excess amino acids Amino acids can not be stored in animals: excess being completely oxidized to release energy or converted to storable fuels(fatty acids or carbohydrates)
