Which of the following processes supplies amino acids to the amino acid pool?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both protein digestion and protein turnover supply amino acids to the amino acid pool. Protein digestion refers to the breakdown of dietary proteins in the digestive tract, while protein turnover refers to the continuous breakdown and synthesis of proteins within the body. Additionally, amino acid biosynthesis is a process by which new amino acids are synthesized within the body, but this does not supply amino acids to the amino acid pool as it is a process of creating new amino acids rather than releasing them for immediate use. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer as both protein digestion and protein turnover contribute to the amino acid pool.
