What else can I help you with?
When amino acids are broken down they lose their amine groups?
Yes, when amino acids are broken down through the process of deamination, they lose their amine (NH2) groups. This reaction converts the amino group into ammonia (NH3), which is then excreted from the body as waste.
Do proteins break down into amino acids?
Yes, proteins are made up of amino acids. When proteins are ingested and digested in the body, they are broken down into individual amino acids that are then used by cells to build new proteins or for other essential functions.
What is a peptide bond broken by?
A peptide bond is broken by hydrolysis, where a water molecule is used to break the bond between the amino acids in the peptide chain. This process involves the addition of a water molecule which leads to the separation of the amino acids.
Where does surplus amino acids broken?
The primary uses of amino acids are as building blocks for protein and peptide synthesis and as a source of nitrogen for the synthesis of other amino acids. Amino acids considered to be "surplus" will be catabolized meaning surplus amino acids are used as metabolic fuel.
Why are amino acids not stored in the body?
Amino acids are not stored in the body because they are readily available from dietary protein sources. The body can synthesize amino acids as needed and excess amino acids are broken down for energy or converted into other molecules. There is no specialized storage system for amino acids unlike carbohydrates and fats.
Can a molecule be broken down in a chemical reaction?
yes they can by amino acids
Which molecule that fastens amino acids down on mRNA?
The molecule that fastens amino acids down on the mRNA is transfer RNA, or tRNA.
When amino acids are broken down they lose their amine groups?
Yes, when amino acids are broken down through the process of deamination, they lose their amine (NH2) groups. This reaction converts the amino group into ammonia (NH3), which is then excreted from the body as waste.
After the proteins have been broken down into amino acids where do the amino acids go?
The Liver.
Proteins are broken down to?
Amino Acids
Protiens are broken down into?
Amino acids
What are protein molecules broken down into?
Proteins are broken down firstly into peptides, which are then digested into even smaller units - amino acids.
How are Amino acids joined together and broken down?
no
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 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 is the chemical that comes from the breakdown of proteins?
The chemical that comes from the breakdown of proteins is amino acids. Proteins are made up of amino acids, and when proteins are broken down through digestion or cellular processes, these amino acids are released.
What Starches are to simple sugars as proteins are to?
Proteins are to amino acids. Just like starches are broken down into simple sugars, proteins are broken down into their building blocks - amino acids - during digestion. These amino acids are then used by the body for various functions, including building and repairing tissues.
