which protein type lacks one or more of the essential amino acids

-low-quality protein -incomplete

Which of the following foods are considered to have high-quality protein

-meat -fish -poultry -eggs -milk -eggs

Rank the basic steps of protein synthesis

1. DNA unwinds exposing a genes 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 molecules conveys a particular amino acid to the ribosome 6. at the ribosome, the amino acid attaches to the peptide chain

place the following foods in order beginning with the food that contains the most protein and ending with the food that contains the least protein

1. chicken breast (4 ounce) 2. tune (4 ounce) 3. banana (one) 4. peanut butter (2 tbsp)

rank the correct order for the steps of urea production and removal

1. deamination results in the production of ammonia 2. liver converts ammonia to urea 3. urea is released into the blood 4. kidneys pick up urea and eliminate it in the urine

lactovegetarian

Eats milk and milk products but no animal flesh or eggs

which of the following are true about complete protein sources? select all that apply

-most foods of animal origin are sources of complete protein -supplies are nine essential amino acids

Rank in order 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 correct order from start to finish.

1. digested proteins move from the stomach into the small intestine 2. Further digestion occurs as the pancreas secretes protein-splitting enzymes, including trypsin 3. Final digestion occurs within absorptive cells 4. Amino acids enter the portal vein and travel to the liver

protein

polypeptides

proteins comprised of 2 or more amino acids

allergic reaction can result in

anaphylactic shock
