Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protein digestion breaks down proteins into their component parts, which are free amino acids, dipeptides (two amino acids linked together), and tripeptides (three amino acids linked together). Polysaccharides and disaccharides are products of carbohydrate digestion, while triglycerides and fatty acids are products of lipid digestion. Nucleic acid polymers, DNA, and RNA are not products of protein digestion at all.
