I know how the body breaks down carbs for glucose to make ATP and energy through many pathways but how does the body use protein and amino acids to build muscle. Are there other uses for protein in our cells? Bonus points if you know specific pathways!
In: Biology
To build muscles from amino acid, you can imagine making a chain from coloured beads. Amino acids are these beads. The arrangement of the colours will follow a template written in your DNA. These strands of coloured beads will then proceed to be twisted, folded , linked and made into a precise shape that become your muscle cell. Many many muscle cells make up muscles tissues.
