Enzymes are crucial contributors to protein digestion. Protein-digestingproteinases or proteases. Protein generally takes the form of very complex molecules arranged in chains of amino acids. So the bonds binding these complex molecules together must first be broken down.
enzymes are referred to as
This digestive process begins in the stomach, where hydrochloric acid, secreted in the stomach's gastric acid, attacks the protein molecules separating them and breaking them down into amino acids. Then the gastric enzyme pepsin - the only protease able to digest collagen starts to digest the amino acids.
Digestion of proteins continues in the first segment of the small intestine. As in fat digestion, the pancreas helps the process by secreting the pancreatic protease enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin. Like pepsin, trypsin breaks down a protein into single amino acid molecules, through a process called hydrolysis. During hydrolysis, a water molecule is inserted between the two amino acids which are bonded together. This breaks the bond between them.
After breakdown, the amino acids are small enough to pass through capillaries in the villi. Once in the bloodstream, the amino acids are distributed by both red blood cells and by the liquid blood plasma to tissues throughout the body where they are used in the creation and repair of cell structures. Such is the demand for protein, the body maintains a constant balance of amino acids in the blood.
I hope that helps! Other than that I have no idea!!

What happens to a molecule off protein during digestion?
Nothing "happens to it" unless something happens to it. In other words, your question is missing the "when" part ("what happens to a molecule of protein WHEN ..."). Even then, it depends on the details; different proteins react in different ways.
During protein synthesis messenger RNA what?
Messenger RNA molecules are fed through the ribosomes during protein synthesis.
In what order is protein broken down during digestion?
Polypeptides, peptides, amino acids
What happens during the G hase?
What happens during the G2 phase is that cells grow rapidly and make protein.
What happens protein after its swallowed?
It gets digested by your stomach. Then your body absorbs its nutrients then it will pass into your intestine and then will be gotten rid of by going to the toilet.

When protein compounds are catalyzed what do they do to the chemical reaction during digestion?
Neutralize chemical reactions during digestion
How is protein converted during digestion?
converted by pepsin.
During digestion fat is changed into?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol
What happens in the stomach during the digestion?
what orgens resposible for digestion
WHAT DOES During protein synthesis messengers RNA?
Messenger RNA molecules are fed through the ribosomes during protein synthesis.

What assists the metabolization of protein?
Enzymes in the body help to metabolize protein. The process occurs during digestion and as the food flows through the intestines.
What happens to the potential of the molecules in a reaction?
the potential energy of the molecules changes during a reaction.
What happens to the potential energy of the molecules in a?
The potential energy of the molecules change during a reaction.
