Fat digestion yields fatty acids and glycerol. Protein digestion yields amino acids. Both digestive processes a. occur inside cells in most animals. b. add a water molecule to break bonds. c. require a low pH resulting from HCl production. d. consume ATP.

Hi everyone. Our next question says proteins are digested to yield amino acids by and we have four processes to choose from hydration, hydraulics sis, dehydration and dehydration ation. So that can be a little confusing. But let's recall from our content videos that proteins are made of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. When these peptide bonds were made, you eliminated water molecule to join together to amino acids. So to break them you have to consume one molecule of water. And that process is called hydraulic sis. And we can get a clue here from hydro of course can make us think of water and license meaning break so that can help give us a clue if we can't remember. So hydraulic sis is the name of the process we want which is choice B But let's just look briefly at the other options to think about why they are not correct hydration. We can think of hydrating ourselves with water is when you combine a water molecule with a chemical and a reaction to create a new compound dehydration. The opposite. So that would be when you remove or eliminate a water molecule from a compound in a chemical reaction to create a new compound and d hydrogenation, we've got hydrogen in. There is a process when you remove hydrogen. So that definitely is not our choice. Um because that's not what we're doing here in a chemical reaction. So again we're consuming a molecule of water in the process of breaking a peptide bond. So hydraulics is's that process. So not hydration or dehydration and definitely not D hydrogenation. So there's our correct answer. Hydro assis. We'll see you in the next video.
