In the stomach; where the breakdown enzyme (pepsin) is at an optimum pH of 1-2
When broken down they form amino acids which are absorbed into the bloodstream by the ileum of the small intestine.

What are digested proteins called?
Proteins are obtained from nutrients of food. They starts to digest in stomach by proteases such as pepsin, trypsin in to peptides. These small peptides later digested further to form amino acids after complete digestion.
What is a common type of protein consumed?
All the proteins in the food is consumed. Once it enters the body it has to be digested to amino acids and not the proteins in the food directly go and attach in human cells.
Organic compounds, such as proteins and starches, are too A to diffuse into cells Proteins are digested into B and starches are digested into C?
Organic compounds, such as proteins and starches, are too large to diffues into cells. Proteins are digested into amino acids nd starches are digested into simple sugars
What are small substances that are produced when proteins are digested called?
monomers
What is digested by the enzyme protease?
proteins into amino acids.
What does the body break digested protein into?
The body breaks digested proteins into amino acids
How does proteins get digested in human body?
Pepsin starts digestion of proteins by breaking down the many of polypeptides into shorter peptides.
Why do people have to digest your food?
Food has to be digested so our body can get the proteins and nutrients etc. out of it, food is the fuel for the body
Why is protein digested by the body?
Proteins you eat are 'Foreign proteins' to your body. If they enter like that in your body will provoke immunological response. So they must be separated to individual Amine acids and absorbed. They will be 'rearranged' according to the need of the body to form body proteins.
What substance in the stomach helps digestion?
The Stomach is where Proteins are digested. This needs an acid environment and enzymes like pepsin. The digested proteins are not absorbed into the body by the stomach - this happens further down the alimentary tract.
In which sections of the digestive system are proteins digested?
it is digested to your muscles.
Which protein source is preferred by body cells when synthesizing new proteins?
The orginal source doesn't matter once proteins are digested to animo acids.
What do proteins get digested into?
Amino acids
Why proteins are digested in intestine but it does not digest its own protein?
1. First you chew up your proteins in your mouth and turn them into extremely small pieces, or at least you should. 2. Proteins are generally digested in your stomach. The acid environment allows proteins to unfold. Proteins are made from amino acids. The body prefers to break down proteins to the basic amino acids and then the amino acids. Then it uses the amino acids to produce the proteins that it wants. (fats and carbohydrates are digested in the intestines.) 3. The walls of the stomach and small intestine produce mucus protecting them from digestive justices.

What food types are digested in the stomach?
Proteins
What part does proteins get digested into?
Amino acids.
