Protein Metabolism

Large molecules consisting of polypeptides

• Amino acids

• Proteins

• Proteolysis

• Side chain

Organic compounds that contain amino (NH 2)
and carboxyl (COOH) groups and a side chain (R) specific to
each one

• Proteins

• Polypeptides

• Amino acids

• Acetyl CoA

Multiple amino acids linked together directly forms a

• Protein

• Big amino acid

• Branched chain amino acid (BCAA)

• Polypeptide

Break down of proteins by breaking peptide bond

• Proteolysis

• Gluconeogenesis

• Glycolysis

• Protein Hacking

True or False: Proteins play a huge role in ATP production at rest

• True

• False

When two or more amino acids are linked together

• Peptide synthesis

• Protein formation

• Proteolysis

• Long amino acids (LAA)

Which of the following is NOT a condition that increases the use of protein metabolism

• Extreme endurance sports

• Carbohydrate depletion

• Resistance training

• Starvation

True or False: Amino acids may enter the Krebs Cycle

• True

• False

In order to use protein for ATP production, we have to get rid of the _ group.

Which group in an amino acids determines the type of amino acid

• Nitrogen containing group

• Amino group

• Side chain (R group)

• Carboxyl group
