These differences are determined by the amino acid sequences of proteins, which are determined by genes. ]]> 2021-08-19 00:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mbha4303/127tmcj0nmuinoo/wish/1684999309 Protein Digestibility mbha4303 https://padlet.com/mbha4303/127tmcj0nmuinoo/wish/1685005537 The digestibility of protein is dependent on a number of factors including the protein's food source as well as foods eaten with it. 

Animal protein sources have high digestibility (90-99%) whilst plant protein sources have lower digestibility (70-90% for most).]]> 2021-08-19 00:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mbha4303/127tmcj0nmuinoo/wish/1685005537
