carbohydrates is this correct?
Answer:
During digestion, proteins are broken down to amino acids. If the body's biological requirements have already been met, they are metabolized ("converted") to glycogen (stored in muscle) or fat (as in bodyfat) and will be used for energy, or kept in storage. Otherwise, the amino acids are used for energy right away. Their carbon skeletons are converted to acetyl CoA, which enters the Krebs cycle for oxidation, producing ATP (energy). When carb intake is low, protein may be converted into carbs via gluconeogenesis.
if it's not required it can be following deamination. the body wont discard a potential source of energy, unless a disease condition causes it to.

No. Proteins are broken into aminoacids.
Proteins and carbohydrates are two different nutrients.
yes, it's possiblehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gluconeogen...
I don't see how that's possible since proteins and carbohydrates are composed of different monomers. Proteins are made up of amino acids, while sugars are made up of monosaccharides. When the body digests proteins, I think it just synthesizes new proteins from the amino acids. It's not something I've really studied though.
A protein is any chain of amino acids. An amino acid is a small molecule that acts as the building block of any cell. Carbohydrates provide cells with energy, while amino acids provide cells with the building material they need to grow and maintain their structure. Your body is about 20-percent protein by weight.
if we eat more protein than we need it is converted to a waste substance and glucose. glucose is a type of carbohydrate, a monosaccharide. It is stored as glycogen in the body until the body needs energy
Usually Proteins arent broken into anything and kept intact unless they are denatured either by a disease or Negative feedback. Denatured Proteins arent broken down into anything but their shape changes which stops the protein from functioning. But if a protein is broken down, it breaks down into Polypeptides which consist of many amino-acides.
I would also like to point out that carbohydrates are a totaly diffrent thing amino-acids are made of and amino group NH3 and an acid ( to be more specific a carboxyl) COOH and an R group we have 20 R groups ( R stands for a specific compound that differs from each amino acid to the next)
Amino Acids are building blocks for proteins and proteins work as enzymes and structural units and . .Carbohydrates are usually long carbon chains with hydrogen branches which are burnt inside the body for energy purposes
My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how they can slim down. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise. But I found this great product which I think helps a lot in the process. I recommend you check this website
