True or False: The hydrolysis of protein produces amino acids, which can then be metabolized through several different pathways.
Correct Answer
True
Explanation
Protein hydrolysis breaks proteins down into their building blocks, amino acids. These amino acids can then enter metabolism through deamination, conversion into pyruvate, or conversion into acetyl-CoA, depending on the specific amino acid involved.
