One Way in Which the Anabolism of Pyrimidine Nucleotides Differs

question 14

Multiple Choice

One way in which the anabolism of pyrimidine nucleotides differs from that of purine nucleotides is that

• A) the pyrimidine ring is assembled before being bonded to the ribose phosphate, whereas the purine ring is bonded to the ribose phosphate as it is formed

• C) glycine appears in the pathway for formation of pyrimidine nucleotides but not in that for the formation of purine nucleotides
• D) argininosuccinate is a key intermediate in pyrimidine biosynthesis
