because it has lots of enzymes that help to break down those large proteins into amino acids!

What is the splitting of proteins into amino acids which are then used to make new proteins?

Yes, they can be broken into amino acids. For example, when we eat food as humans our gastrointestinal system will break the proteins in our food into peptides then 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.

When proteins are made from amino acids is it a chemical or physical change?

Chemical, enzymes break peptide bonds in proteins. Thus, separating the amino acids and breaking apart the molecule.

Proteins are broken down into peptides or even further into amino acids.
