What is the digestive juice that breaks down protein into amino acids?
what body part is the largest part of the body
What type of chemical grouping present in all proteins?
A protein is any chain of amino acids. An amino acid is a small molecule that acts as the building block of any protein. If you ignore the fat, your body is about 20-percent protein by weight. It is about 60-percent water. Most of the rest of your body is composed of minerals (for example, calcium in your bones). Amino acids are called "amino acids" because they contain an amino group (NH2) and a carboxyl group (COOH) that is acidic. In the figure above, you can see the chemical structure of two of the amino acids. You can see that the top part of each one is the same. That is true of all amino acids -- the little chain at the bottom (the H or the CH3 in these two amino acids) is the only thing varying from one amino acid to the next. In some amino acids, the variable part can be quite large. The human body is constructed of 20 different amino acids (there are perhaps 100 different amino acids available in nature).
How many amino acids in food?
Your body can synthesize most of the 21 amino acids that you need to make protein, with the exception of nine essential amino acids (histadine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine) that must come from your food. The important amino acids in foods are called the essential amino acids because the body can not synthesize them. These are nine in number.
A mineral present in the body as part of some amino acids?
None. All amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Two have sulfur.
What part of the cell uses amino acids to build proteins?
All cells synthesize (build) proteins from amino acids. The information that the cell needs in order to arrange the amino acids in the right sequence is stored in DNA.
How do amino acids get to cells in every part of the body?
The blood carries the amino acids to the cells.
What is the digestive juice that breaks down protein into amino acids?
what body part is the largest part of the body
What is a sentence for amino acid?
Amino acids are the most important part of our bodies. They are the one forming proteins in the body.
Are amino sugars part of amino acids?
no amino sugars are not part of amino acid
What are the buliding blocks of proteins?
Amino acids make up all proteins. The human body can make most amino acids, but the "essential" amino acids must be take in in as part of the diet for normal body function. Protein synthesis takes place in the ribosomes and is directed by a cell's DNA.
What makes the essential amino acids different from the non-essential amino acids?
Essential amino acids are those the body cannot produce. There are 20 basic amino acids. There are eight essential amino acids unless the individual is a phenylketonuric. There are nine essential amino acids for phenylketonurics as they cannot convert phenylalanine to tyrosine. Essential amino acids have to be taken into the body by eating. This answer is for informational purposes only. All individuals should ask advice of their physician.
What is the job of sulfur in the body?
The major part of bodily sulphur is in the sulphur-containing amino-acids.

What part does proteins get digested into?
Amino acids.
What organ is involved with the deamination of amino acids?
Through researching this question i have found out that the stomach absorbs proteins which are made up of amino acids. After the stomach amino acids are then absorbed by the duodenum ( a buffer for acids in the stomach in small intestine, called sodium bicarbonate).
What part of the amino acids varies from one amino acids to another?
The "R" group is different in different kinds of amino acids. The "R" group can be a number of different molecules that are attached to the alpha carbon.
