Proteins
3. Antibodies
Amino Acids
- There are 4 different uses of protein in our body
- Such as "keratin", this makes hair and nails, and collagen.
- Supports ligaments, tendons, and skin
- The plasma membrane of our cells sometimes form channels allowing things to enter and leave cells. These channels are made of protein.
- These are messengers that influence cellular metabolism
3. Antibodies
- These are made out of proteins as well as other body fluids
- These combine with foreign substances, preventing them from destorying cells
- Also prevents from upsetting homeostasis
- Speed up chemical reactions
Amino Acids
- An amino acid is a building block for proteins
- When two Amino Acids join it’s formed into something called a Dipeptide water is also formed
- There are only 20 Amino Acids in the world
- There are 3 parts [Acid + Amino + R group]
- An example of an Amino Acid:
- A peptide bond is associated with oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen
- Oxygen usually has a partial negative charge and Hydrogen a partial Positive
