Trace the metabolism and digestion, mechanical and chemical, of protein through the body. Describe the metabolism process and the utilization of the by-products and elimination of the waste. Discuss the deamination of amino acids that produces ammonia
and the specific actions that occur throughout the body. What is the impact of hormones and enzymes on these processes? Include digestion that begins in the mouth and ends in body tissues.
Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth. Chemical digestion begins in the stomach and continues through the small intestine, where enzymes aid in digestion. Deamination produces ammonia, which enters the liver and kidneys. The remaining parts are used for energy or are converted to carbohydrate or fat and stored as glycogen or adipose tissue. (Each of these processes should be discussed thoroughly.)
