- Classify THE 20 amino acids as essential and non-essential. briefly discuss their each amino acids specific importance in the body. For essential amino acids, identify their dietary sources.arrow_forwardAmino acid degradation and biosynthesis are related metabolic processes, but they are not identical. Indicate two ways in which they are similar and one in which they are different. Be as specific as you can.arrow_forwardThe catalytic activity of enzymes depends on the presence of appropriate environmental conditions. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme found in the stomach and facilitates the digestion of large proteins. If pepsin is removed from this acidic environment of the stomach and is instead placed in a more basic environment, it will cease to function. Describe the specific effect that a change in environmental pH will have on pepsin and explain how this change can lead to inhibition of its catalytic activity. Respond in 4 to 6 complete sentences.arrow_forward
- Which of the following best describe protein digestion? . Protein digestion is a hydrolytic process regulated by pH changes in the gastro-intestinal track, and hormonal and enzyme releases at various stages of digestion. .. Protein digestion occurs during the gastric phase of digestion starting in the stomach. Protein digestion cleaves peptide bonds releasing peptides, and amino acids Protein digestion is a hydrolytic process involving proteases/ proteinases Protein digestion occurs at the active site of proteases and is effected by the catalytic triads.arrow_forwardMany people who are lactose intolerant can eat yogurt, which is prepared from milk curdled by bacteria, without any digestive problems. Give a reason why this is possible. (Hint: Read the label on each of several yogurt containers. Do the ingredients make a difference?)arrow_forwardMention the significance of aminotic fluid.arrow_forward

Group of answer choices Phenylalanine is produced using tyrosine and should be supplied in adequate quantities. Tyrosine should be taken in through the diet as the body is unable to produce it. The excess absorption of phenylalanine prevents the absorption of tyrosine by the body. Tyrosine is produced in excess by the body, and its intake through the diet should be limited. Tyrosine is not required by the body for the synthesis of other essential amino acids.arrow_forward
- Amino acids are not stored in the body. Describe howexcess amino acids are processed in the cell.arrow_forwardMost diets provide adequate levels of protein, even when trying to achieve protein intakes of 1.2 to 2 grams/kilogram of bodyweight. However, protein supplementation can be utilized in some instances. Discuss instances in which you think protein supplementation would make sense or be warranted?arrow_forwardExplain the process of amino acid oxidation (go through it step by step in a chronological order)arrow_forward
