Document Summary

Growth maintenance and repair of body tissue. Protein is made up of chains of amino acids that are made based on an individuals dna. Excess dietary protein cannot be stored in the body. Proteins are composed of carbon, hydrogen oxygen, and nitrogen. Nitrogen is found in the amine group. There are 20 amino acids that are used to make proteins. The proteins are classified by the number of amino acids in the chain: peptides: fewer than 50 amino acids. Essential- must be consumed in the diet: 9 essential amino acids. Nonessential- can be synthesized in the body: 11 essential amino acids. Conditionally essential- cannot be synthesized due to illness or lack of necessary precursors: premature infants lack sufficient enzymes needed to create arginine. Amino acid pool: amino acid that is available in the blood. Important for muscular growth and maintenac: limiting amino acid. Amino acid pool: deamination ammonia urea , transamination. 0. 8gm of protein/ kg of healthy body weight.

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.
