NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are made up of amino acids hence the last process is the hydrolysis of peptide bonds to free amino acids. So, amino acids are the end product of protein digestion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amino acids are transported to the liver during digestion and most of the body’s protein is synthesised here. If protein is in excess, amino acids can be converted into fat and stored in fat depots, or if required, made into glucose for energy by gluconeogenesis which has already been mentioned.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chemical digestion of protein begins in the stomach and ends in the small intestine. The body recycles amino acids to make more proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -When you eat food, the body’s digestive system breaks down dietary protein into individual amino acids, which are absorbed and used by cells to build other proteins and a few other macromolecules, such as DNA.
