The correct Answer is:
To complete the equation for reductive amination, we need to identify the correct components that participate in the reaction. The equation provided is: `overset((I))to + NH_(4)^(+) + NAD(P)H overset((II))to "Glutamate" + H_(2)O + NAD(P)` ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Keto Acid**: The first component (I) in the reaction is a keto acid. In the context of reductive amination, the most relevant keto acid is **alpha-ketoglutaric acid** (also known as alpha-ketoglutarate). This compound is an important intermediate in the Krebs cycle. 2. **Combine with Ammonia**: In the reductive amination process, ammonia (NH₄⁺) combines with alpha-ketoglutaric acid. This reaction is facilitated by the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase. 3. **Enzymatic Reduction**: The enzyme responsible for this reaction is **glutamate dehydrogenase**. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of alpha-ketoglutaric acid and ammonia into glutamate. 4. **Final Products**: The products of this reaction are glutamate, water (H₂O), and NAD(P) (which is reduced to NAD(P)H in the process). 5. **Complete the Equation**: Thus, the complete equation can be written as: - `alpha-ketoglutaric acid + NH₄⁺ + NAD(P)H → Glutamate + H₂O + NAD(P)` 6. **Select the Correct Options**: Therefore, the correct option that completes the equation is: - (I) **alpha-ketoglutaric acid** - (II) **glutamate dehydrogenase** ### Final Answer: The correct answer is option B: **alpha-ketoglutaric acid** and **glutamate dehydrogenase**. ---
