Quiz 3 Flashcards
It is water soluble; present as albumen in egg white; in blood circulation, it performs various functions [e.g., as a carrier of lipids])
ALBUMIN
It is insoluble in water and are resistant to digestive enzymes
FIBROUS PROTEIN
A protein with sugar
GLYCOPROTEINS
Are organic compounds made up of different building blocks (basic units) called amino acids joined together by peptide bonds
PROTEINS
Is high in protein (keratin) but very low in digestibility and is of limited use in animal nutrition as a feed ingredient.
FEATHER MEAL
Are the building blocks of proteins
AMINO ACIDS
Amino acid that contain an asymmetric a-carbon (with four different chemical groups attached to it)
GLYCINE
Contain more carboxyl groups, and basic amino acids contain more amino groups
ACIDIC AMINO ACIDS
Contain an equal number of carboxyl and amino groups.
NEUTRAL AMINO ACIDS
Are those that cannot be synthesized by the animal body. There are 10 essential amino acids; cats need taurine, and chickens need glycine.
ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS
Is the process by which ingested feed is broken down physically and chemically to simple products for absorption from the digestive tract
DIGESTION
Soluble in dilute neutral solutions; functions as part of the immune system in body defense [e.g., immunoglobulins]
GLOBULIN
Proteins with heme units
HEMOPROTEIN
Proteins bound to nucleic acid
NUCLEOPROTEIN
Remove an amino acid from the end with a free carboxyl group, and aminopeptidase act on the terminal amino acid with a free amino group.
