The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of aspartic acid with A to yield B and glutamic acid in the presence of transaminase, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction Type**: - The reaction involves aspartic acid reacting with another compound (A) to produce glutamic acid and another compound (B). This is indicative of a transamination reaction, where an amino group is transferred from one amino acid to another. 2. **Understand the Role of Transaminase**: - Transaminases are enzymes that facilitate the transfer of amino groups between amino acids. In this case, aspartic acid is likely donating its amino group. 3. **Identify the Compounds**: - Aspartic acid (C4H7NO4) is known to undergo transamination with alpha-ketoglutaric acid (C5H9NO5) to produce glutamic acid (C5H9NO4) and oxaloacetic acid (C4H4O5). 4. **Determine A and B**: - In the reaction, A must be the compound that receives the amino group from aspartic acid, which is alpha-ketoglutaric acid. - B is the product formed from this reaction, which is oxaloacetic acid. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, A is alpha-ketoglutaric acid and B is oxaloacetic acid. ### Final Answer: - A = Alpha-ketoglutaric acid - B = Oxaloacetic acid
