| Blueprint ID | Learning Objectives | | 11470 | Describe how dietary proteins are digested as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract, highlighting the sources and sites of action of various proteolytic enzymes, including pepsin, trypsin, and other endopeptidases and exopeptidases. | | 11471 | Explain the importance of protein half-life and describe how lysosomes and the ubiquitin-proteasome system contribute to the recycling of body proteins and amino acids. | | 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 the transport systems that facilitate the movement of free amino acids across cell membranes. | | 11474 | Identify the amino acids that are essential in the human diet, and explain why maintaining a balanced intake of these amino acids is crucial for supporting health and homeostasis. | | 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. | | |
