Much research is being conducted on repairing faulty sensory organs through devices such as personal guidance systems and eyeglasses, among others. Do you think that researchers should attempt to improve normal sensory capabilities beyond their “natural” range (for example make human visual or audio capabilities more sensitive than normal)? What problems might this cause?

The year is 2040, and you are part ofan intergalactic research team.  In the On-Line galaxy, on the planet Virtual, you discover ureotelic organisms that have biochemistry analogous to terrestrial organisms (aka us!). You have isolated the following compound that appears to be an intermediate in their urea cycle.  Based on this compound, and the excellent (ahem!) biochemical education you received in CHM 3280, predict the rest of the Virtualian Urea Cycle.  Provide structures and enzyme names, cofactors etc.
