Document Summary

Large complex mlcls found in the cells of all living thinks. Critical components of all the tissues of the human body: bones, blood, skin, and muscles. Metabolism, fluid balance, immunity, and nutrient transport, and provide energy in certain circumstances. Proteins are made according to instructions provided by dna. Proteins are made up from a combination of building blocks called amino acids: mlcls composed of a central carbon atom connected to four other groups: amine group, acid group, hydrogen atom, and a side chain: amine: nitrogen containing. Side chain makes the amino acid unique, amine group, acid group and carbon and hydrogen atoms don"t vary. Most proteins are made from a combination of 20 amino acids. Dna dictates the structure of each protein our body synthesises. Cells use segments of dna (genes) as templates for assembling (expressing) particular proteins. Proteins are manufactured at the site of ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Rda: sedentary people: 0. 8 g / kg body weight per day.

1. Polypeptide strands is the active form of a digestive enzyme in the stomach that breaks polypeptide chains into smaller polypeptides.

2. Cleavage of proteins by pepsin in the stomach results in formation of pepsinogen which get broken down further in the small intestine.

3. An amino acid chain made up of three amino acids joined together is called a tripeptide.

4. Dipeptide describes an amino acid chain made up of two amino acids joined together.

5. The 20 different amino acids are the building blocks used for protein synthesis.

6. Amino acid pools are stockpiles found in the blood and other cells of the body that can be used to build new proteins.

7. The continual process of degrading and synthesizing protein is called protein turnover.

8. The stomach produces pepsin, which denatures protein.

9. Denaturation occurs when a protein is exposed to heat, acid, bases, or mechanical agitation resulting in unfolding of the protein, though the peptide bonds remain intact.

10. The part of an amino acid that contains nitrogen is called the amine group.

11. The acid group is also known as the carboxyl group.

12. Single amino acids that are absorbed in the small intestine travel to the liver via the portal vein.
