1. Describe the processes involved in cellular protein synthesis. How would synthesis be affected by intake of an otherwise adequate diet that is very low in glycine or low in tryptophan? How would synthesis be affected by a diet that is low in energy? 2. List the advantages of a vegetarian diet. What nutrient requirements are more difficult to meet on this diet, and what precautions are needed to prevent insufficient intakes in the child and in the adult? When writing your essay use your own language to explain each topic, demonstrating your firm grasp and understanding the subject matter; however, references should be used to reinforce your statements of understanding, use quotations rather than paraphrasing as references.
