Marla is a healthy 30-year-old woman. she doesn't work out, but she consumes protein supplements because she thinks they will increase her muscle mass without the need to exercise. based on this information, the excess amino acids in her diet will be mostly
select one:
a. converted into carbon skeletons and ammonia.
b. added to her muscle tissue.
c. preferentially metabolized for energy over carbohydrates.
d. excreted undigested in her stools and urine.

Option (a).

Explanation:

Proteins are one of the most important biomolecule of the living organism and acts as a building block of the body. They are made of the polymers of alpha amino acids linked through peptide bond.

The excess intake of proteins in the body can cause various health related problems. The proteins digestion requires proper exercise and excess proteins is converted in to the carbon skeletons in the body. The ammonia present in the boy is converted into urea and excreted throughout the body. Marla excess protein will convert into the carbon skeleton and ammonia.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Answering the question, based on this information, the excess amino acid in her diet will be mostly converted into carbon skeletons and ammonia.

When a person takes excesses of protein supplements, the excess amino acids in the small intestines after protein digestion are moved to the liver. One of the metabolic functions of the liver is to remove excess amino acid in the body, which is discharged as waste because the human body cannot store amino acids or proteins.

Also, there are types of chemical reactions that take place when excess amino acids are transported into the liver, the product of this reaction forms ammonia, which is very toxic and should not build up in the body. Therefore, the excess ammonia is converted to urea, the urea then forms and moves into the bloodstream which is filtered by the kidney and excreted in the urine

Proper exercise after consuming protein supplements is very essential. Mary’s actions can result in various health problems such as blood vessel disorder, seizures, liver injuries, and even death.

Therefore, Marla should have a work out after consuming protein supplements otherwise the excess amino acid in her diet will be mostly converted into carbon skeletons and ammonia.
