5 to 6 percent of total calories

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to American Heart Association, a heart patient must limit saturated fat and trans fat and replace them with the monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. If a person suffering from heart diseases need to lower his blood cholesterol, he must reduce saturated fat to no more than 5 to 6 percent of total calories. For someone eating 2,000 calories a day, that’s about 13 grams of saturated fat.

How does the digestive system break down small proteins into amino acids? *

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Digestive system breakdown small proteins into amino acids by chemical digestion using enzymes (option B).

Explanation:

One of the main functions of the digestive system is to degrade food to facilitate its absorption at the intestinal level. This degradation has a mechanical phase, which includes chewing and contracting the stomach, and an enzymatic phase.

The enzymes that allow the breakdown of proteins into amino acids are called proteases, or peptidases. They are enzymes capable of breaking peptide bonds, obtaining at the end amino acids that can be more easily assimilated by the organism.

The other options are not correct because mechanical digestion reduces the size of the digested food and mixes it with the gastric juices, but does not break the peptide bonds.
