Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans) Describe how protein is digested and absorbed in the body.

Function of protein

These function may be broadly grouped as Static (Structural) and Dynamic

1) Structural Function: certain protein perform brick and molar roles and primarily responsible for structure and strength of body. This includes collagen and elastic found in bone matrix, vascular system and other organs and alpha-keratin present in epidermal

2) Dynamic Function: the dynamic function of protein is more diversified in nature. This includes protein acting as enzymes, hormones, blood clotting factors, immunoglobulins, membrane receptor, storage protein, genetic control, muscle contraction respiration etc.

Develop a vegetarian diet plan that meets the body’s protein needs.

The overall daily protein recommendation for vegetarians is the same as for every healthy person:
0.4 grams per pound of body weight.
For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you would multiply 150 x 0.4 = 60 grams of protein for your daily need.
Vegans (due to plant proteins being slightly less digestible) and older adults may benefit from a slightly higher amount of protein—approximately 0.5 grams per pound of body weight.

Distinguish between high quality and low-quality proteins

High quality protein

low quality protein

Most animal protein are considered complete and high quality

eg, red meat, poultry and dairy products

A protein usually of plant origin that lacks one or more essential amino acid

eg, corn or beans

list sources of each for vegetarians

Legumes (cooked)	Soy Foods	Vegetables	Grains	Seed	Nuts
Lentils	Tempeh	Peas, cooked	Kamut	Pumpkin seed	Peanut Butter
Black beans	veggie burger	Artichoke, cooked	Wheat Berries	Flax seeds	Almonds
Pinto beans	Tofu	Spinach, cooked	Quinoa	Sunflower seeds	Pistachios
Red kidney beans	Soymilk		Oatmeal	Chia seeds	Hazelnuts
Black eyed peas					Walnuts
Chickpeas
