Document Summary

Proteins: made up of amino acids (20; different combinations make up different proteins) Order of aa determined by the genetic information in the dna which directs the synthesis of that particular protein. Each aa contains carbon, oxygen, hydrogen & nitrogen (two also contain sulfur) (8) protein. Indispensable macronutrient, example is that plant sources are better than animal sources sometimes. Depending on the type of molecule there are different types of dna being produced. Each amino acid is carbon, oxygen and hydrogen which is similar to cho and fats. Protein is different than other macronutrients because proteins have nitrogen in it, contains the base which helps determine how much protein is in the sample of food. By measuring nitrogen only, you can figure out how much protein. So when measuring nitrogen, you can measure nitrogen by digesting it in acid. Breaks it down and releases nitrogen in the food sample to figure out how much protein is in there.
