Document Summary
It"s macromolecule #3: proteins: proteins in everyday life : your body. Hair : made of the protein keratin comes in straight, curly or wavy forms.

Insulin : the hormone insulin , like most hormones , is a protein. Egg white : the protein albumin , most of an egg"s liquid weight, is essential for making melted triacylglycerides . (but throw away the crunchy exoskeleton). angelfood cake, meringues, and souffles. In addition, proteins are important sources of food! Proteins are about 50% of the dry weight of most cells, and are the most complex of the macromolecules we will talk about, because there are 20 different monomers or building blocks, called amino acids . The way these building blocks (amino acids) are put together gives each protein its own unique structure and function.
