Hi
I'm unsure if this is a nutritional question or a physiologic/biological question. So I'll answer both briefly.
Nutritional: Protein is a macronutrient which is provided by the diet. Although most foods contain at least a little protein, there's not enough specific elements to make what are called complete proteins from an individual food product. I'm referring to foods such as vegetables, nuts, legumes, and cereals. Complete or quality proteins are largely those derived from meat and dairy sources, including fish.
Biological: When proteinous foods are eaten the body digests it. The food is broken down further into amino acids and through complex processes the body rebuild the amino acids into complete chains of proteins to perform functions such as muscle and tissue growth and repair.
That's a very brief overview as I say. If you need a more detailed breakdown please clarify the question.
What else can I help you with?
What are comparison and contrast of the structure and function of channel proteins and carrier proteins?
channel proteins transport large molecules through the interior cell carrier proteins wait until energey is provided and move molecules out and inside the cell
What are ribosomes made up of?
Ribosomes are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. They consist of two subunits that come together to build proteins based on the instructions provided by messenger RNA (mRNA).
The Hershey-Chase experiment disproved which of these molecule groups as the physical carrier of inheritance?
The Hershey-Chase experiment disproved proteins as the physical carrier of inheritance and instead provided evidence that DNA is the primary molecule responsible for transmitting genetic information.
Enzymes that attach carbohydrates and lipids to proteins are called?
Enzymes that attach carbohydrates to proteins are called glycosyltransferases, while enzymes that attach lipids to proteins are called acyltransferases. These modifications play important roles in protein structure and function.
Cilia and flagella move due to energy provided by the enzymatic breakdown of ATP by?
basal bodiesbasal bodiesbasal bodiesbasal bodies actin
What baby foods have the most vitamins and proteins?
Nature has designed and provided the best baby food there is and that is breastmilk. It has all the nutrients, vitamins, proteins, and antibodies that the baby needs and nothing that has ever been produced could ever come close to the nutritional and emotional content that it has.
How much energy provided in gram of carbohydrates?
There are approximatley 4Kcal (calories) of energy per gram of carbohydrates.. This is the same in proteins, but 9Kcal of energy are produced in a gram of fat Hope that answers your question :)
Why did scientists believe that proteins provided the key to genetic code?
there are 20 amino acids for protein and only 4 bases for DNA. makes sense they would think that the 20 amino acids would provide more variety. also they didnt know about transcription translation, etc
Why can people survive on different mixes of fat carbohydrate and proteins?
Because that is the food that humans have evolved to eat and they are capable of metabolizing all of them. It would be possible to survive on just proteins provided one also had a supply of vitamins. But it would not be possible to survive on a diet containing absolutely no protein.
What manufactures proteins?
Wherever the gene expression happens, proteins may be synthesized. This is tightly controlled by operon elements in our genome. If the proteins coding mRNA is synthesized, then it can trigger the synthesis of proteins in the cytoplasm.
Where is the enzyme that breaks down proteins?
Digestion of protein starts from stomach. In stomach the proteolytic enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin are produced and act of proteins derived from food. But in general, an enzyme can break down proteins anywhere (in lab environment too) if there is optimal condition (such as buffer, pH) is provided.
Is proteins production part of membrane proteins?
Membrane proteins and all other proteins are produced in cytoplasm. The proteins targeted to membranes by specific signals. Golgi vesicles transport the proteins to membrane. Not all proteins are membrane proteins
