How does protein break down into sugar in the body?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion. Some amino acids can be converted into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis, which occurs in the liver. This allows the body to use proteins as a source of energy when needed.
What is the name of enzymes that break down proteins?
peptode bond
What are carbohydrates fats and proteins broken down to in the small intestine?
Carbohydrates and fats are broken down in the digestive tract into the simple sugars, glucose, fructose, and galactose. The latter two can be converted by the body into glucose, which is distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream and is broken down into Carbon Dioxide and water in the mitochondria of cells. Proteins are broken down into their constituent amino acids, which are used to assemble new proteins throughout the body.
What do protease break down into?
Protease is an enzyme so it would break down into amino acids. (If you meant protein then the same is true)
Can glucose fats and proteins be respired to yield ATP?
Yes, glucose, fats, and proteins can be respired to yield ATP through cellular respiration. Glucose is the primary source of ATP, while fats and proteins can also be broken down and converted into ATP through different metabolic pathways such as beta-oxidation for fats and gluconeogenesis for proteins.
Is glucose bigger than a protein?
No, glucose is a sugar. And a carbohydrate. Google sugar.
What cell does glucose partly break down in?
The Mitochondria in a cell breaks down the Glucose
What enzyme breakdown proteins?
Proteases break down proteins.
What proteins function to break down other proteins?
Proteases.
Could an enzyme which causes proteins to break down into their component amino acids also cause starch to break down into sugar molecules?
No. Because different proteins only work for specific causes. Pepsin in your stomach breaks proteins down into the amino acids which your body can reuse, and amylase in your mouth breaks down starch into glucose molecules. Enzymes have a specific "shape" which is used to as a catalyst for only specific reactions. Think of it like this. One enzyme will only work for one chemical reaction. This is why you have billions of them in you.
How is it that other nutrients can be metabolized to yield ATP?
Apart from glucose you have Fatty acids, Glycerol and Proteins, which enters the Creb's cycle to yeald ATP, after break down.
What substance does glycolysis break down?
Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.
What is a class or group of enzymes that break down carbohydrates?
Carbohydrase breaks down starch-Amylase breaks down glucose into fructose (sweeter; useful for diabetics)-Isomerase breaks down proteins-Protease breaks down fats-Lipase
What protein helps break down food into energy?
Enzymes are proteins that can break down food into energy: lipase breaks down fats amylase breaks down carbohydrates protease breaks down proteins. When carbs are broken down glucose is left. Then: glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water This is respiration. in this reaction, Adenasine triphosphate is broken down to adenasine diphospate, realeasing energy that enables us to do things. Hope that helps
Pepsin is necessary for the stomach to break down?
Pepsin is necessary to break down various proteins.

Amylases break down starches into?
its sugars
