Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.63P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Explain the biosynthesis of many key proteins in the immune system such as glycoproteins is affected by lack of essential amino acids, a low-carbohydrate diet or both.
Concept introduction:
Essential amino acids are ten amino acids which cannot be synthesized in human body in enough quantity to make proteins. Lack of these proteins affect the biosynthesis of proteins.

2. Why do enzymes become inactive at very low temperature? Why do enzymes become inactive at very high
temperatures? (Hint: It is NOT the same reason.)
ome athletes will consume only protein for several days before a competition, which reduces the amount of glycogen in both the muscle fibers and the liver. What impact would this have on their ability to perform activities that require short, powerful bursts of activity? How would it affect their ability to perform endurance activities
Protein sources that provide all the amino acids that cannot be manufactured in the body are considered essential. O incomplete. O.nonessential. O complete.
