What is the simple form of protein?
Glucose
Glycerol
Amino acid
Fatty acid
Amino acid
Proteins are complex macromolecules composed of chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. During the process of digestion, digestive enzymes like pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin break down these long polypeptide chains into their simplest absorbable forms, which are individual amino acids.

Think of a protein as a long necklace made of many different colorful beads (amino acids); digestion is the process of cutting the string so that you are left with the individual, single beads.
P-A-A: Proteins turn into Amino Acids.
Protein+H2тАЛOProteaseтАЛAmino┬аacids тАФ General reaction for protein hydrolysis
Protein digestion begins in the stomach, where HCl denatures proteins, and pepsin starts cleaving them into smaller peptides. The process continues in the small intestine, where pancreatic proteases (e.g., trypsin, chymotrypsin) and brush-border enzymes (peptidases) further hydrolyze these peptides into single amino acids, dipeptides, and tripeptides for absorption through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.
Proteins are polymers of amino acids.
Digestion involves the hydrolysis of peptide bonds.
Amino acids are the building blocks required for protein synthesis in the body.
The process is mediated by specific proteolytic enzymes.
Amino acids are easily absorbed in the small intestine via active transport.
Provides essential nitrogen for cellular repair and enzyme production.
Muscle tissue repair and growth
Synthesis of hormones and antibodies
Glucose is the simple form of carbohydrates.
Glycerol and fatty acids are the simple products of lipid (fat) digestion.
Option A (Glucose) relates to carbohydrate breakdown.
Option B (Glycerol) and Option D (Fatty acid) relate to lipid breakdown.
C is correct тАФ The simple, absorbable form of protein resulting from digestion is the amino acid.
Remember the 'triad' of digestion: Carbohydrates тЖТ Glucose, Proteins тЖТ Amino acids, and Fats тЖТ Fatty acids + Glycerol.
