Q

Break peptide bonds within
the primary structure into smaller fragments

A

Endopeptidases

17
Q

Is activated to form pepsin (active form) through HCl produced by parietal cells of the gastric mucosa

18
Q

Insoluble in water and are resistant to digestive enzymes

A

Fibrous proteins

19
Q

How many amino acids are known to exist in nature

20
Q

Is commonly used as an amino
acid supplement in animal feeds

A

DL methionine

21
Q

It can be found in structural components of the body and are needed for many metabolic functions

22
Q

A long chain of amino acid formed by the peptide bonds

23
Q

Cleave amino acids off the terminal end of the protein molecule

A

Exopeptidases

24
Q

The pressure of food in the stomach leads to the secretion of this substance by the chief cells of gastric mucosa

25
Also secreted at the duodenum, converts trypsinogen into trypsin, which then converts chymotrypsinogen and procarboxypeptidase to their active forms—chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase
Enterokinase
26

Rumen undegradable proteins
27
Is the major site of amino acid metabolism
Liver
28
Is the removal of amino groups from amino acids to form ammonia.
Deamination
29
Contains the genetic code of the animal and is the blueprint of protein synthesis
DNA
30
Are synthesized through the process of transamination
Nonessential amino acids
