How does protein help the body?

Answer 1

lots of stuff! channel proteins are used in membranes, DNA is wound round histomes (proteins) ribosomes are made of proteins, just so much stuff

Answer 2

The body uses proteins as "building blocks" - proteins are required by the body for everything from cell wall building to muscle control.

Answer 3

"Protein helps us to grow. It also helps heal wounds. You can find Protein in any meat and any dairy products."

Also, there are alternatives available to animal protein. I am a meat eater, but cannot overlook the contribution to our protein intake from vegetables, like legumes (soybean = ~44% protein), beans, grains, etc.

The amino acid profile (building blocks of a protein) are typically superior in animal proteins (like milk), but some vegetable proteins (e.g., soy) are suitable proteins for an adult diet. Kids have a slightly different requirement and may achieve better growth potential with a diet that includes animal proteins.

Answer 4

Protein makes up our bodies - our organs, skin, muscles, and more are made of protein. Cell membranes are made of proteins and lipids. Enzymes that cause the body's chemical reactions to work properly are also proteins.

Answer 5

Proteins have many function, such as relaying signals between cells, protecting and speeding up chemical reactions.

Answer 6

if we have protein in our diet, it gives us strength and energy. :)
