Proteins are made up of amino acids connected by peptide bonds. Proteins digested in to peptides first by proteases such as pepsin. They ultimately digested to form individual amino acids that are utilized by our cells.

What Proteins are broken down by?
Amino acid
Proteins are broken down by pepsin Why is trypsin needed?
it is because they need to then be broken up into even smaller acids
Do Proteins provide most of the energy for life processes?
Proteins and carbohydrates share the role of providing energy for life's processes. Proteins are broken down into constituent amino acids by enzymes.
Protein are broken down by which enzyme?
Someone answer my question! Say 'please' next time. Since you omitted to mention the particular enzyme involved, the best I can do is say that proteins are made of amino acid molecules. When proteins are degraded by enzymes, you get oligopeptides (smaller proteins) or amino acids.
What is the relationship between micro-sphere and coacervate?
Microspheres are composed of molecules of proteins and Coarcevates are composed of molecules of amino acids (broken forms of proteins).
Proteins are broken down into proteases and peptides by proteases in?
Proteases are proteins which cleave other proteins in difference places. There may be other ways that proteins are broken down also.
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.
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.
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 proteins are broken down into?
Proteins are broken down firstly into peptides, which are then digested into even smaller units - amino acids.
Proteins are broken down to?
Amino Acids
What Proteins are broken down by?
Amino acid
What occurs durring the digestion of proteins?
Most simply, proteins are broken down into amino acids.
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 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 enyzmes digest the protein?
for starch - amylase for proteins - protiase for fats and oils - lipase proteins are broken up into ameno acids starch is broken up ito multose then glucose fats and oils are broken up into glycerol
What are protein molecules broken down into?
Proteins are broken down firstly into peptides, which are then digested into even smaller units - amino acids.
