Why is the breakdown of proteins a problem for animals?
The breakdown of proteins is a problem for animals for quite a few reasons. Proteins are complex and some animals don't have the ability to break them down.
Why do animals make proteins?
To feed the cells
Proteins ingested by animals are immediate sources of?
glucose
Where do animals get nitrogen from?
Animals get nitrogen from the proteins found in their food. When animals consume plants, they break down the proteins into amino acids, which are then used to build new proteins in their bodies. Nitrogen is an essential component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins in animals.
Are proteins produced the same way in fish and in human?
Actin and Myosin arethe proteins manufactured in both fishes and animals.
What organic molecule is most common in foods that come from animals?
Proteins.
Why are proteins more common in foods that come from animals than from plants?
The main source of proteins in animals is in their muscles. Those include the muscles that move bones, the heart and all hollow organs. This is not true for plants. Most of their proteins are found in enzymes and structural proteins in their walls.
What two proteins do ligaments carry?
The two proteins that ligaments carry are elastin and collagen. These proteins make ligaments both strong and elastic, making it easier for animals to move.
What do animals use nitrogen for?
Animals use nitrogen to build proteins in their bodies. Nitrogen is a vital component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins essential for growth, maintenance, and repair of tissues in animals.
How do plants and animals get carbohydrates to use for energy?
Only as an energy source, it requires amino acids for animals to make proteins.
Where do proteins fit into the food guide pyramid?
Most proteins are at the top of the food pyramid because animals are protein. You can also get protein from eggs.
What is the purpose of the ribosomes in a plant cell?
Plants use proteins, just like animals! So they use ribosomes to build proteins too.
