What molecule is broken down into amino acids?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids through the process of digestion in the body. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids linked together. Once proteins are broken down during digestion, the individual amino acids are absorbed and used by the body for various functions.
Can a molecule be broken down in a chemical reaction?
yes they can by amino acids
What would Hydrolysis of a protein produce?
Hydrolysis of a protein would break down the protein into its constituent amino acids. This process involves adding water to the protein molecule, causing the peptide bonds between amino acids to be cleaved, resulting in the release of individual amino acids.
Suppose that enzyme X catalyzes a reaction that involves the breakdown of a molecule. The product of this reaction is an amino acid. What molecule is the enzyme breaking down?
it might be a protein.. since proteins are polymers of various amino acids..
What is the role condensation and hydrolysis in the relationship between amino acids and dipeptides?
Condensation is the chemical reaction where two amino acids combine to form a dipeptide by releasing a water molecule. Hydrolysis is the reverse process where a dipeptide is broken down into its constituent amino acids by the addition of a water molecule. These two processes are essential for interconverting between amino acids and dipeptides in biological systems.
After the proteins have been broken down into amino acids where do the amino acids go?
The Liver.
What are the product of protein hydrolysis?
The hydrolytic process breaks down inter-amino acid bonds of the protein, so that first polypeptides, then oligopeptides, and finally the constituent amino acids result. By hydrolysis a water molecule will be split into a hydrogen atom and an -OH group and these two units take the bindings that held the amino acids togeather in the first place so that the protein molecule is decomposed. Hydrolysis means "dissolving by water", but usually also some catalyst must be present for the reaction to occur, like an acid or base. A protein is a very long chains of amino acids which also is wrapped up in specific ways to produce a shape specific for the protein molecule. A polypeptide is a long chain of amino acids, but shorter than a protein. An oligopeptide is a chain of just a few amino acids.
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.
What are protein molecules 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
Protiens are broken down into?
Amino acids
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.
