Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To identify whether small intestine/slightly acidic
Concept introduction: Proteins are natural biopolymers. Amino acids are the main building block of protein molecules. A large number of amino acids condense together to form a polypeptide chain. A large polypeptide chain is called protein. The digestion of dietary protein starts in the stomach and is completed in the small intestine. It does not start in the mouth because saliva present in the mouth does not contain an effective enzyme to break down the protein. The flow chart for protein digestion in the human body is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation: To identify whether trypsin/free amino acids pairing of term/concept is correct.

- Explain why the presence of certain proteins in body fluids such as urine or blood can indicate that cellular damage has occurred in the body.arrow_forwardOnce cooked, egg whites remain in a solid form. However, egg whites that are beaten to form meringue will partially change back to a jellylike form if allowed to stand for a while. Explain these behaviors using the concept of reversible protein denaturation.arrow_forwardUsing the list in Section 20-17, characterize each of the following proteins in terms of its function classification. a. Actin b. Myoglobin c. Transferrin d. Insulinarrow_forward
