When protein consumption is in excess of body needs and energy needs are met the excess amino acids are metabolized and the energy in the molecule is what?
Our bodies cannot store excess protein once it is consumed, so the excess amino acids are converted to carbon skeletons that are turned into glucose or fat and then stored as fat or metabolized for energy needs. **stored as glycogen & fat** jmata~
What are amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism called?
Amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism are called essential amino acids. These amino acids must be obtained through diet.
Why are amino acids not stored in the body?
They are assembled into proteins.
Why are excess amino acids not stored in the body?
I had the same question and saw no answers posted. In a hope to begin a thread, here is my guess. Osmolarity. The same reason why excess glucose molecules are stored as glycogen. Similarly, excess fatty acids are tucked away as TAG. It seems quite problematic to put excess AA into proteins in a random fashion, because this will surely lead to insoluble protein aggregates or soluble proteins with unwanted functions.
What is an essential amino acid?
An essential amino acid is a building block of protein molecules that our bodies cannot produce and need to get from a food source. They are essential because we can not synthesize them from other amino acids or smaller building blocks. Ultimately they are needed to make proteins which build tissues in our bodies.AnswerProtein molecules are long chains of amino acids. There are 20 naturally occurring amino acids used in protein synthesis alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, tyrosine, arginine and histidine are non essential in that they can be synthesized from precursors in the diet. The amino acids isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine can not be synthesised by the body and therefore must be essential components of the diet. However some of the nonessential amino acids listed above are essential for normal growth in children since they do not have full biosynthetic capability as they develop.AnswerAmino acids which can't be synthesized by the body and must be taken in diet are known as essential amino acids.Essential amino acids are required by animals yet they cannot be synthesized, they are usually supplied in the diet.

What is the breakdown of excess amino acids in the liver?
this is called deamination
Fats that are stored in human tissue contain molecules of?
Amino Acid
What organ are excess amino acids broken down to urea?
kidney
Amino Acids that you obtain from eating food is classified as what?
Amino acids that are obtained from eating food are classified as essential amino acids. They cannot be synthesized in the body.
When does protein catabolism usually occur?
Protein catabolism is the breakdown of the proteins into the amino acids which are the basic constituents of the protein. In digestion process the proteins get converted into amino acids and used for the repair and building process of cells. The excess of amino acid get converted into fat and sugar and get stored into liver. Due to illness or prolonged starvation when the body does not get adequate energy, this excess of amino acid in the form of fats or sugar get breakdown and provides energy.
What does the body do with excess amino acids?
Deamination occurs. An amine group is removed from the amino acids, making ammonia. This ammonia is then converted to urea in the ornithine cycle. Search for 'deamination' on Wikipedia. That should cover it :)
What is the main purpose of proteins in healthy eating?
To get the small amount of each amino-acid needed with each meal for proteins to me made in your body (Note: Proteins from food CANNOT be used by your body directly they are always broken down into animo-acids first). The most important amino-acids are termed essential because you cannot synthesize them yourself if needed however it is best if you have a balance of every amino-acid with each meal as synthesizing amino-acids takes energy. Amino-acids are not stored (except as protein which isn't broken down except for recycling when not needed or as a last resort during starvation) which is why you must get sufficient amounts amino-acids with each meal in order to be healthy. However please note that a normal adult (children need more as do adults putting on a lot of muscle which is protein) doesn't need much protein each day (a glass of milk will suffice by itself (but 1/3 at each meal as above)) in order to get the amino-acids he or she needs. Any excess amino-acids are used to generate energy and any excess energy is stored as fat. Protein contains nitrogen and this it is nitrogen from excess dietary protein that is excreted in urine (or nitrogen from body protein broken down for energy during starvation).
What component is not stored in plastide?
Amino acids is not stored in plastids. Things that are stored in plastids are lipids, pigments, and starches.
