Questions and Answers
Which of the following best describes the process of protein digestion?
Which of the following best describes the process of protein digestion?
- Proteolytic enzymes remove H+ and OH- ions from water molecules to split proteins into amino acids (correct)
- Peptide linkages are broken down by the reverse effect of condensation during protein digestion
- Amino acids are bound together by peptide linkages during hydrolysis
- Hydrolysis of proteins occurs through the addition of H+ and OH- ions to water molecules
What happens to the amino acids in a protein chain during digestion?
What happens to the amino acids in a protein chain during digestion?
