Protein: made up of amino acids (20; different combinations make up different proteins) Few more aa than just 20, but 20 that combine together to make proteins. The particular aa and the order determines what proteins you have. Protein need you have is because we have amino acid need (and only specific amino acids) When eat protein that"s were we get dietary amino acids that we need. Amino acid: has a carboxyl group, has a carbon attached to it, the simplest amino acid, like glucose molecules, they form together to make glycogen, there can be small and big ones depending on length and complexity. Contractile proteins in muscle (muscle is 40% of weight)- 20% of muscle is protein. There is a lot of structure in body made of protein.
