Yes they do. the protein has to be digested in the stomach before absorbed there.

Which is digested before being absorbed?
All food is broken down before digestion.
Before being transported in the bodyfood must be?
Broken down to the molecular level ... And in the case of proteins, down to amino acids.
Why doesn't water need to be digested before being absorbed?
Water is water. It is already in the right form to be absorbed, no breakup needed.
When do the nutrients in food get sucked out of the food?
The small bowel absorbs nutrients from food but first it must be broken down into amino acids ie: proteins, carbohydrates, fibre etc... before being transported round the body.
What is an example of sound being absorbed?
Sound being absorbed by water
Is cholesterol absorbed without being digested?
Yes, cholesterol and peptides can be absorbed without being digested. Thanks chacha.com
What causes protein deficiency if there is already enough protein in your diet?
The only way this could occur would be if the proteins were not being absorbed due to poor digestion, excreted (diarrhea) too quickly to be absorbed, or an improper mix of proteins (single-source foods) were eaten. Otherwise, the body could be in a catabolic state where it begins to waste muscle for energy needs.
What will happen to enzymes and proteins when being radiated by nuclear radiation I know they will be broken down to smaller size. But what about their activities or functionalities?
they will go bibi frever
What steps you would take before getting on a horse for the first time after being broken in?
I don't know. I haven't been broken in.
Which nutrients can be absorbed without first being digested in the human gastrointestinal tract?
The nutrients that do not need to be digested they have to be smaller than the cells of the small intestine. Some of these are sugars and amino acids.
What color wavelengths are absorbed during photosynthesis?
The green color is being absorbed
Why rate of anaerobic respiration is faster in starch than in glucose?
Infact it should. It is a common misconception that because Glucose is a monosaccharide that it should provide a higher rate of respiration as it does not need to be broken down, unlike sucrose. However, the method the glucose enters the yeast enters the cell is by facillitated diffusion and this requires carrier proteins. When glucose is being absorbed, there will be a point where the rate reaches it's maximum, i.e. all the carrier proteins are being used. When sucrose is the substrate, it is split into glucose and fructose. When all the carrier proteins are used transporting glucose, different proteins are used for fructose (due to the tertiary structure of the protein) so the composite monosaccharides of sucrose can enter the yeast at a higher rate. Hence the rate is faster.
