Aspirin is an acid with a pKa of 3.5; its structureincludes a carboxyl group. To be absorbed into the bloodstream,it must pass through the membrane lining the stomach and thesmall intestine. Electrically neutral molecules can pass through amembrane more easily than can charged molecules. Would youexpect more aspirin to be absorbed in the stomach, where the pHof gastric juice is about 1, or in the small intestine, where the pH isabout 6? Explain your answer.

About half of the 20 amino acids must be acquired from food. Nonessential amino acids are synthesized by the human body. Humans obtain phenylalanine from their diet. Meat and eggs have incomplete amino acids and must be eaten with complementary sources of protein. The synthesis of essential amino acids is generally completed in fewer steps than for nonessential amino acids. Many of the nonessential amino acids are derived from other amino acids.

Some foods naturally have high levels of the free amino acid. For example, parmesan cheese (1689 mg), tomato (246 mg), scallop (159 mg), corn (106 g), and shrimp (43 mg). Wheat protein (gluten) is typically comprised of 30-35% of this amino acid. People with celiac disease cannot metabolize gluten, but have no trouble with foods high in the natural amino acid or MSG. Why is this?
