Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What results from the hydrolysis of a protein?
A
Amino acids
B
Glucose
C
Fatty acids
D
Nucleotides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protein hydrolysis leads to amino acids. These amino acids, when heated, will decompose into carbon dioxide and ammonia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteolysis is a hydrolysis reaction of peptide bonds in which proteins breakdown into smaller peptides and/or into individual amino acid residues. The proteolytic cleavage reactions are usually catalyzed by either chemicals or enzymes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Introduction: Protein hydrolysis is the process by which peptide bonds are broken under acidic conditions at high temperatures, generating free amino acid residues. The resulting hydrolysates can then be analyzed by amino acid analysis to determine the amino acid composition and concentration of proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ultimate products of hydrolysis of protein is amino acid. Proteins are polymers made up of several amino acids. These amino acids are linked through peptide bonds. On hydrolysis, peptide bonds are broken and amino acids are released.
