After breaking up in the stomach and turning into amino acids, inside the cells they turn back into protiens through a chemical reaction

Q: What happens to proteins during digestion?

A: The proteins are broken down into amino acids.

In digestion, Amino Acids are the products, so what are the reactants?

The reactants are the water molecule and the proteins.

Why do we need to digest proteins?

41448_13 — 2025-10-03 13:51:56 UTC

We need to digest proteins because the food molecules are way too big to fit inside the cells. We also need to digest proteins because different organisms need different kinds of carbohydrates and proteins.

Pathways of Proteins

What is one of the possible paths for proteins?

One way amino acids can be used is to repair wounds.

What is one of the four possible pathways for Amino acids?

28624_17 — 2025-10-03 14:04:37 UTC

One of the pathways is that the amino acids can be stored as fat in the body

What is one of the possible pathways for amino acids?

415443 — 2025-10-03 14:05:49 UTC

The amino acids are used for energy

What is one of the four possible pathways for amino acids?

41448_13 — 2025-10-03 14:07:33 UTC

Amino acids can come out by waste.

What does your body do with excess carbohydrates?

28624_17 — 2025-10-04 23:48:58 UTC

Carbohydrates get stored as fats in the body from a chemical reaction that happens when excess carbs enter the body.

Excess Food

What does your body do with excess fats?

415443 — 2025-10-05 13:48:55 UTC

^{Your body uses some of the excess fats as energy and the rest gets stored if your body doesnt need/use the fat.}

What does your body do with excess proteins?

41448_13 — 2025-10-05 23:07:03 UTC

Proteins can go through chemical reactions and then will be stored as fats.
