Question

Amanda gets protein at lunch by eating a chicken sandwich. How can Amanda’s body use the protein in the chicken to build protein in her cells?

Answer 1

Answer:

- The proteins in the chicken are broken down into amino acids, and the DNA in Amanda's cells uses those amino acids to build human proteins.

Explanation:

The body uses the protein taken by Amanda in the form of a chicken sandwich by breaking it down into the form of compounds called 'amino acids.' Amino acids are described as the substances that are responsible for the formation of proteins in the body. Thus, the DNA present in Amanda's body cells will use these amino acids to form human proteins. The longer chains of these amino acids help the body to ensure its proper structuring and functioning.

Answer 2

The proteins can be broken down into amino acids, and Amanda used her genetic material (DNA) to build proteins from these amino acids.

• A protein is a long chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.

• During gene transcription, a specific fragment of DNA known as gene is used to create an mRNA, which is then used to create a protein by a  process called translation.

• The linear order of nucleotides in DNA determines the order of amino acids in the protein sequence.

In conclusion, the proteins can be broken down into amino acids, and Amanda used her genetic material (DNA) to build proteins from these amino acids.
