Chemical stages of a Protein:A B. essential and non-essential amino acids C. complete and incomplete proteins
Chemical stages of a Protein: A:As indicated by its name, an amino acid has a chemical structure that combines both acid and base (amino) factors. This important structure gives amino acids a unique buffering capacity. This acid-base nature of amino acids also enables them to join one another to form the characteristic chain structure of protein. The amino (base) group of one amino acid joins the acid (carboxyl) group of another. This characteristic chain structure of amino acids is called a peptide linkage. Long chains of amino acids that are linked in this manner are called polypeptides.
Chemical stages of a Protein: B: Cannot be synthesized by the body and are necessary in the diet. Examples: Threonine Leucine Isoleucine Valine Lysine Methionine Phenylalanine TryptophanEssential amino acids.
Chemical stages of a Protein: B: Can be manufactured by the body and, therefore, are not as necessary for consideration in the diet. Examples: Glycine Alanine Aspartic acid Glutamic acid Proline Hydroxyproline Cystine Tyrosine Serine Arginine HistidineNon-essential amino acids
Chemical stages of a Protein: C: Are those that contain all the essential amino acids in sufficient quantity and ratio to supply the body's needs. These proteins are of animal origin- meat, milk, cheese, and eggs.Complete proteins
Chemical stages of a Protein: C: Are those deficient in one or more of the essential amino acids. They are plant origin- grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts.Incomplete proteins

Functions of proteins:1. 2 3 4 5 6
Functions of proteins: 1:proteins are used in repairing worn-out body tissue proteins (anabolism) caused by the continued wear and tear (catabolism) going on in the body
Functions of proteins: 2:Proteins are used to build new tissue by supplying the necessary amino acid building blocks
Functions of proteins: 3:Proteins are a source of heat and energy. One gram of protein contains 4 calories.
Functions of proteins: 4:Proteins contribute to numerous essential body secretions and fluids, enzymes, and proteins. Some hormones have protein or amino acid components. Mucus and milk are largely protein. Sperm cells are likewise largely protein as is the fluid in which the sperm cells are contained.

Measures of Protein Quality: It measures the effectiveness of protein quality in supporting the body's needsBiologic value (BV)
Measures of Protein Quality: It also measures how capably protein is used by the body. The difference is that this measures retention of food nitrogen consumed while BV measures food nitrogen absorbed.Net protein utilization (NPU)
Measures of Protein Quality: It measures the increase in weight of a growing animal and compares it with the intakeProtein efficiency ratio (PER)
Health Effects of Protein: Heart disease:Foods rich in animal protein tend to be rich in saturated fats
Health Effects of Protein: Cancer:Studies suggest a relationship between high intake of animal protein and some types of cancer like cancer of the prostate gland, pancreas, kidneys, breast, and colon.
Health Effects of Protein: OsteoporosisCalcium excretion rises as protein intake increases.
Health Effects of Protein: Weight-controlProtein-rich foods are also rich in fat which can lead to obesity with associated health risks.
Health Effects of Protein: Kidney diseasesExcretion of end products of protein metabolism depends on a sufficient fluid intake and healthy kidneys. A high-protein diet increases the work of the kidneys.
