| Blueprint ID | Learning Objectives | | 11470 | Describe how dietary protein digestion occurs and role of proteolytic enzymes as protein moves through the gastrointestinal tract. | | 11471 | Describe the functional significance of edopeptidases and exopeptidases, zymogens, lysosomes, ubiquitin, and proteosomes to protein digestion within cells or in the gut. | | 11472 | Describe the activation of GI proteolytic enzymes (including pepsin, trypsin, and others) from zymogens as a precursor step to dietary protein digestion. | | 11473 | Describe how amino acids are transported into cells and the general flow of amino acids between organs in the fed state. | | 11474 | Describe the concepts of "Nitrogen Balance" and "essential amino acids", and identify which amino acids are considered "essential" in the diet. | | 11475 | Describe how the pool of free amino acids is maintained to support protein synthesis, energy requirements, and other essential biosynthetic processes requiring amino acids. | | |
