A client wants to build muscle and is taking large amounts of a protein supplement. The majority of the excess protein consumed will: be used to build muscle be converted to fat be converted to glucose and used for energy immediately not be absorbed but will be excreted as protein in feces

The primary use of ingested proteins in the body is to _____. be broken down into amino acids that are used to build proteins and nucleic acids within the body be broken down to release energy and the unused components are recycled to build new proteins within the body interact with signaling molecules to trigger the building of muscle fibers be converted to starches or sugars, which are more readily accessible forms of energy

A student has eaten steak for dinner which contains protein and fat How is the protein digested?

Proteins in food provide amino acids. Amino acids will be used by the body to build essential proteins, repair tissues and growth. Excess amino acids are transformed by metabolic pathways into: muscles all excess protein is excreted in the urine connective tissue (hair, nails, etc)
