What else can I help you with?
What are fats proteins and carbohydrates broken down into?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down into sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
Can proteins be broken down and used for energy?
No, protein is broken down into amino acids. Simple sugars are only formed when carbohydrates are digested.
What macromolecules is first broken down in the stomach?
Proteins are the macromolecules that are first broken down in the stomach. The enzyme pepsin helps to break down proteins into smaller peptides.
What Proteins are broken down by?
Amino acid
Where are proteins broken down?
Protein broken down to peptides in stomach. Proteases such as pepsin, trypsin catalyze the breaking down of proteins to peptides. enteropeptidases cut down these peptides to amino acids. All the proteins and enzymes are coded in Genomic DNA.
What breaks down protein bilirubin and iron?
Proteins are broken down by proteases, bilirubin is broken down by the liver, and iron is broken down by macrophages in the liver and spleen.
Do amino acids need to be digested before absorbed?
No because they are in their basic unit. Proteins have to be broken down into basic units (proteins broken down to amino acids)
What does protein get broken down into to use for energy?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids in digestive tract and then synthesis of new proteins.
What proteins are broken down into?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids through the process of digestion. Enzymes in the stomach and small intestine help break down proteins into their individual amino acid components, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream for various cellular functions in the body.
What nutrients break down in the stomach?
Proteins are digested in the stomach. Pepsin is the enzyme, which is responsible for breaking the peptide bond of the proteins.
What occurs durring the digestion of proteins?
Most simply, proteins are broken down into amino acids.
What type of reaction by which proteins and carbohydrates are broken down?
Glycolysis.
