undernutrition

Once in the cytoplasm, the mRNA travels to the ___ where the mRNA code is read and translated to produce a specific protein.

ribosomes

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

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.

Match the type of protein with the most appropriate characteristic of the protein.
