Document Summary
The cchs found that more than 97% of canadians consumed protein above the amdr. In canada, disappearance data suggest that about 62% of dietary protein comes from meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products. Most of the world relies on plant proteins from grains and vegetables. As a cou(cid:374)t(cid:396)y"s eco(cid:374)o(cid:373)y i(cid:373)p(cid:396)o(cid:448)es, the p(cid:396)opo(cid:396)tio(cid:374) of a(cid:374)i(cid:373)al foods i(cid:374) the diet te(cid:374)ds to increase. Large complex molecules composed of amino acids: contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen. Where major source of nitrogen is coming from: primary source of nitrogen in our diets, 20 different amino acids are used to make proteins. *memorize essential amino acids! (left column) do not need to. When a nonessential amino acid is not available from the diet, it can be made in the body by the process of transamination. Peptide bonds: dipeptide = 2 amino acid, tripeptide = 3 amino acid. Mouth: grinds food into smaller particles.
