In the gut, amino acids are absorbed from the small intestine into the blood by active transport. However, if you are referring to amino acids being reabsorbed in the kidney from the nephron back to the blood, then that is incorrect - amino acids aren't reabsorbed at all, because they weren't filtered in the first place. This is due to the protein molecules being too large to diffuse across the Bowman's Capsule.

If the Tm for a particular amino acid is 120 mg 100 ml and the concentration of that amino acid in the blood is 230 mg 100 ml the amino acid?

If the concentration of the amino acid in the blood is higher than its Tm value, it suggests that the amino acid is being filtered and excreted by the kidneys as it has exceeded the renal threshold. This could indicate a potential problem with reabsorption in the kidneys.


Which blood vessel contain the highest concentration of Amino acid?

The blood vessels that contain the highest concentration of amino acids are typically the portal veins, specifically the hepatic portal vein. This vessel carries nutrient-rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver, where amino acids absorbed from digested proteins are transported. The liver processes these amino acids for various metabolic functions, resulting in a high concentration in the portal circulation before they enter systemic circulation.


What type amino acid absorbed UV radiation?

Tryptophan is an amino acid that absorbs UV radiation. It has a strong absorption peak in the UV range, around 280 nanometers, which makes it useful for studying protein structure and interactions using techniques such as UV spectroscopy.


What is absorbed and secreted in the nephron?

In the nephron, water, glucose, amino acids, and some ions (such as sodium) are absorbed from the filtrate into the blood. Waste products such as urea and excess ions are secreted from the blood into the filtrate to be excreted as urine.


Why anthranilic acid is not a amino acid?

Anthranilic acid is not an amino acid because it lacks an amino group (-NH2) within its molecular structure, which is a defining feature of amino acids. Despite its name containing "acid," anthranilic acid is actually a precursor to various amino acids but is not classified as an amino acid itself.

What is deamination process?

When amino acids are taken into the body and digested, they get absorbed into the blood stream from the ileum in the large intestine. If too much amino acid is absorbed into the blood, the body is not capable of storing it. However, some amino acids can be converted into useful substances (such as glucose and other compounds).If this is not possible, the molecules of amino acid are broken down in the liver and some parts of the molecule are recycled. This process of amino acids being broken down in a liver and recycled is called deamination.While some parts of the amino acid can be recycled, the nitrogen part of it can't be used or recycled. It is converted into urea and then transported in the blood to the kidneys where it is excreted as urine.

Amino acids used to assemble your protein in order?

Proteins are made of Amino Acid "polymers" where each amino acid is like a link in a (polymer) chain. When you eat proteins your digestion system breaks them down into amino acids. The amino acids (flexible building blocks) are then absorbed into your body, and they are used to build (assemble) your proteins.

What is the primary site for amino acid uptake after a meal?

The primary site for amino acid uptake after a meal is the small intestine, specifically the duodenum and jejunum. Amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall and transported to various tissues for protein synthesis and other metabolic processes.
