No, Plant foods are considered incomplete proteins because they are low or lacking in one or more of the amino acids we need to build cells. Incomplete proteins found in plant foods can be mixed together to make a complete protein.
Animal based proteins are much more similar to our proteins, therefore are used more readily and rapidly than plant proteins.

∙ 11y agoSteak is a "complete protein" in the sense that all essential amino acids (for humans) are present in the same proportion that they occur in animals. "Incomplete protein" describes the varying amino acid patterns in plants. It's a misleading term, because it suggest that humans (and other animals, one would assume) can't get enough essential amino acids to make protein from plants.
Fortunately, the theory that plant proteins are somehow "incomplete" and therefore inadequate has been disproven. All unrefined foods have varying amounts of protein with varying amino acid profiles, including leafy green vegetables, tubers, grains, legumes, and nuts. All the essential and nonessential amino acids are present in any single one of these foods in amounts that meet or exceed your needs, even if you are an endurance athlete or body builder.

Proteins that come from animal sources are?
Animal proteins are complete. Plants provide amino acids which can be used by your body to assemble proteins if enough of the right amino acids are present.
Complete proteins are found in foods that come from what sources?
Soy and animal proteins such as meat, dairy products (except butter) and eggs contain complete proteins.
What is the bad sources of protein?
Bad sources of proteins are foods such as Fried Chicken, Fast food type proteins (McDonald hamburgers), and Deli proteins. The difference between good proteins and bad proteins are good proteins come with other good nutrient sources while as bad proteins are going to come with carcinogens and high saturated fats which make these food sources not good to consume. Ex. Fried Chicken is going to be a ton worse then a good source of protein such as grilled chicken why this is? Grilled chicken is going to come with much better nutrients than fried chicken.
Where do the best sources of lysine and leucine come from?
Lysine is found in high amounts in animal products like poultry, beef, and pork, as well as in plant-based sources like legumes, nuts, and seeds. Leucine is abundant in animal proteins such as chicken, beef, and fish, as well as in plant sources like soybeans, lentils, and pumpkin seeds. Both amino acids are essential for muscle growth and repair.
Which 2 macronutrients come from both animal and plant sources?
The two macronutrients are carbohydrates and protein.
What are cartilage supplements made of?
Cartilage supplements come from such animal sources as cattle, sheep, sharks, and chickens, with cows and sharks being the predominant sources.
Sources of natural fibers are?
Natural fibers come from plant, animal and mineral sources. For example cotton fiber comes from the cotton plant / boll. Linen from the flax plant.
Where doesaminocid come from?
Do you mean Amino Acid? Amino Acids are proteins, and the body cannot produce them itself. There are Complete Proteins which have all 27 of the essential Amino Acids in them. Examples would be meat, fish, eggs, dairy products. Then there are Incomplete Proteins which have some, but not all, of the 27 essential amino acids, and they are vegetable in origin and examples include beans and nuts.
Where does meat come from?
From animals like sheep, pigs, cows, chickens etc.
What protein comes from plants?
Nonessential proteins get their name from the fact that it is not essential that you eat them in your diet. This is because your body can make these types of proteins. This is compared to essential proteins, which your body cannot produce, which you must get from other sources such as eating.
What were the sources of evidence Darwin used for his theory of evolution?
the three sources of information Charles Darwin used to come up with his theory are: farmers and animal breeders, geologists, and the work of thomas malthus
Is adenine a lipid?
No, adenine is a nucleotide [as are thymine, uracil, cytosine and guanine]. Lipids come in two main flavors - fats {from animal sources that are solid at room temperature} and oils {from plant sources that are liquid at room temperature}.
