Proteins are broken down firstly into peptides, which are then digested into even smaller units - amino acids.

∙ 11y agoProteins that are eaten are broken down into polypeptides, which are typically broken down further into amino acids.
Then your body uses those amino acids to make its own proteins.

What do large insoluble molecules get broken down into?
Most large insoluble molecules get broken down in the digestive system to small (simpler) soluble molecules.
What types of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
When molecules are broken down from where is the energy released?
When molecules are broken down the energy is released from the outer electron shells of the various elements involved.
The process by which protein confirmation is lost or broken down is what?
Denaturaion
How does protein break down?
Protein is broken down by enzymes in the pancreas\; trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase and elastase. The liver the removes the amino group for the production of ATP, and finally protein is absorbed in the small intestine.
What is breaking down food to release food in cells called?
well, enzymes are proteins that break up food molecules and digestion is when large protein molecules are broken down
Where is protein broken down in the digestive system?
muscle fibers
How is a protein broken down into smaller molecules?
If you mean digestion, then it is amino-acids but in case of urinalysis it should be urea.
What is the name of the individual molecules that protein must be broken down into before they can be digested?
I think that perhaps you mean the polypeptides, which is a polymer of many amino acids. The protein is broken down into polypeptides, which are in turn broken down into amino acids - the building blocks of pretty much all of the human body.
When a protein consiting of six amino acids underges hydrolysis how many water molecules must be broken down?
Five water molecules, one for each peptide bond.
How is protein broken down?
Protein is broken down in the stomach by Gastric Juices ( which is a mixture of hydrocloric acids and enzimes ) .
What do large insoluble molecules get broken down into?
Most large insoluble molecules get broken down in the digestive system to small (simpler) soluble molecules.
How are large molecules broken down into glucose molecules?
Large carbohydrates are broken down by hydrolysis, or the addition of water molecules.
What types of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
What small molecules result when protein are chemically changed by digestion?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids. These are actually called the building blocks of proteins.
Do protein make energy molecules?
They can. In cellular respiration proteins may be broken down and modified to enter as part of the citric acid (Krebs) cycle.
What type of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
