Document Summary
Digestion: in mouth- there is no enzymatic digestion in mouth (food is ripped and sheared which increases surface area) In stomach - digestion begins in stomach by denaturation with hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen. Hydrochloric acid (denatures from quat to primary and secondary tri and dipeptides) and pepsinogen (hydrolyzes peptide bones that liberate free amino acids) secretion is stimulated by gastrin (hormone secreted from pancreas) In small intestine protease finalizes digestion in preparation for absorption. (the release of protease into small intestine is stimulated by cck from pancreas also). Those fatty acids get sent to adipose tissue for storage). For amino acids to get converted to fat, first need to undergo deamination (removal of n), which results in more. How proteins are synthesized from amino acids in the body. Genes determine the sequence of amino acids in each protein. Genetic information in a cell goes from.
