complementary combinations

PDCAA

considers how well the body converts food protein into body tissue and also the amino acid composition.

protein and energy

During protein synthesis, the mRNA moves to the _____________ after leaving the nucleus.

ribosomes

The steps involved in the digestion of protein beginning in the stomach

1. Denaturation by stomach acid and partial digestion by pepsin. 2. The pancreas secretes protein-splitting enzymes. 3. Final digestion occurs within absorptive cells. 4. Amino acids enter the portal vein and travel to the liver 5. Rectum: Very little dietary protein is excreted in feces.

put the processes of protein digestion in the correct order, from start to finish.

1. Digested proteins move from the stomach into the small intestine. 2. Fur

Which of the following elements are combined to make a protein

carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen

where does protein begin and end?

stomach/small intestinal cells

Basic Steps of Protein Synthesis

1. DNA unwinds exposing a gene. 2. The gene undergoes transcription, forming messenger RNA. 3. mRNA transfers the information from the nucleus to ribosomes. 4. The ribosomes "read" the messenger RNA 5. RNA molecule conveys a particular amino acid to the ribosome. 6.At the ribosome, the amino acid attaches to the peptide chain.

Rank the correct order for the steps of urea production and removal.

1. Deamination results in the production of ammonia 2. Liver coverts ammonia to urea 3. Urea is released into the blood 4.Kidneys pick up urea and eliminate it in the urine.

Which of the following are potential causes of denaturation

Heat and Stomach acid
