A

3G per kg of body mass

32
Q

What is an amino acid pool

33
Q

What enzyme breaks down protein in the stomach

34
Q

What is protein broken down into in the stomach

A

Dipeptide
Tripeptide

37
Q

Where does the amino acid,dipeetide and tripe tide go to after bein in the stomach

What is deamination

A

Removal of nitrogen

39
Q

What cycle does ammonia get removed by

A

Urea cycle

Q

Why don’t we use Oreo tin as a form of energy

A

They enter at different stages in the kerb cycle
resulting in less ATP
less efficient
