Large molecules with many functions: our body contains thousands of different proteins, contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, are made of long string amino acids. In the largest quantities in: meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, eggs. Legumes, pulses, nuts, seeds: there is some protein in grain products, there is little protein in fruits and vegetables (don"t really count) What are amino acids: h2n - the amino group, h - hydrogen group, c=o - oh - acid group. Side chain (at bottom) - unique to each amino acid. There are 20 amino acids: 9 of these are essential, this means our body can"t make them and you have to eat them, 11 are non-essential, these are still important, but our body can make them through transamination.
