There are a number of substances that the cell can use for energy in addition to carbohydrates. Proteins can be hydrolyzed to (1
) ____________________ and then have the nitrogen group removed in a process called ____________________. Depending on the type of molecule in the (1) they will feed into either the end of glycolysis as ____________________ or feed into the ____________________. Lipids and fats are broken down into (2) ____________________. The b-oxidation of the molecules in (2) ultimately produces ____________________, which then enters at the beginning of ____________________ whose ultimate metabolic waste products are ______________________________ and ______________________________.
From the protein hydrolysis cycle, the missing words are;
Amino Acid
Deamination
Non-essential Amino Acids
Free fatty acids and monoglycerides
acetyl-CoA molecules
FADH2, NADH and water.
<h3>What is protein hydrolysis?</h3>
Protein hydrolysis is a complicated process that comprises a series of enzymatic processes, each with a unique kinetic response for numerous substrates.
Two enzymes that aid the digestion of protein in the body are;
