(1)What happens to proteins during digestion? (aiden)

3 - (What the experiment was) - Farrah

The 3rd step was scientists killing animals and investigating the organs and blood for isotopes. Built up means a thing/subjects increases instead of decrease, it builds up overtime getting stronger, to build up they had to add water molecules and proteins.

2 (Alyssa) What question were they trying to answer with the experiment?

26831_11 — 2024-10-02 13:56:11 UTC

The researchers were trying to figure out how much of the protein that is eaten by the rats is made into waste and how much becomes part of the proteins in the rat's body to help understand it with humans. They used amino acids made with isotopes and fed them to the rats to answer this.

(4)what chemical reactions happens with amino acids inside of cells

amino acids in cells get built together into cells in the body.

2 amino acids take 1 water molecule away and it bonds into a protein in the rat's body. Then it gets used as energy

Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acids and enzymes called proteases brake it down into smaller chains of amino acids. amino acids are joined together by peptides, witch are broken by proteases. From your stomach these smaller chains of amino acids move into your small intestine.

Some food gets stored as fat (by Alyssa)

Food gets stored as fat as a survival tactic. In the past, humans and animals needed to store food as fat to survive when humans used to not have much food and had to hunt for it. This ability to store fat helped them survive when food was not available. But, today, we never really have issues where we can't eat for a long period of time, and now this storage can lead to health issues like obesity when people eat more food than they need. But, for many organisms, the ability to store food as fat is needed for survival during periods of food scarcity or hibernation.

Some food gets excreted as waste -Link

When you eat food, it goes through a complex process in your digestive system. It travels through various organs and finally reaches the large intestine, where it can produce a distinctive sound as it exits the body. PLOP!

For example, if you eat a large meal and your body doesn't need that much glucose right away, insulin will help your body store it to convert to energy later. Insulin does this by turning the extra food into larger packages of glucose call glycogen.

the extra carbs what do they do?-Link

when you eat a lot of carbohydrates and have extra your body uses them and stores them as fat. yes fat is good for long times without food but nowadays its difficult to not get food so be careful!

Why Do We Need to Digest Proteins (Alyssa)

40268_1 — 2024-10-03 20:54:42 UTC

Proteins are nutrients that are needed for the growth and repair of the body. When we consume proteins through food, our body needs to break them down into amino acids during digestion. Amino acids are then absorbed into the bloodstream and used by our cells to build new proteins. Without the digestion of proteins, our body would not be able to access what it needs for the growth, repair, and health of our tissues and organs. Digestion of proteins is needed to make sure that our body can use the nutrients we consume from any proteins we consume.

What chemical reaction happens with amino acids inside of cells

2024-10-04 13:29:37 UTC

Amino acids are the precursors to proteins. They join by condensation reactions to form short short polymer chains called peptides or longer chains called either polypeptides or protiens
