The biological value (BV) of a protein is a measure of how much of the protein is retained and used in the body.
A protein which has a high proportion of essential amino acids ie ones which we cannot synthesise ourselves, will have a high biological value (eg 0.9 - 1.0).
A protein with a low content of essential amino acids will have a correspondingly low BV.

What are LBV proteins?
Low biological value (LBV) proteins do not full-fill the essential amino acids that our body needs. In contrary high biological value proteins contain right amount essential amino acids.
Two proteins with high biological value and which are used as a standard reference are eggs and what?
Human Milk(:
Differential between the low and high biology biogyical value?
The biological value (BV) of a protein is a measure of how efficiently the body can use the protein for growth and maintenance. Proteins with high biological value contain all the essential amino acids in the right proportions and are easily digestible, while proteins with low biological value may lack some of the essential amino acids or be harder to digest. The differential between the low and high biological value can vary depending on the protein source. For example, animal-based proteins such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy have high biological value due to their complete amino acid profile and easy digestibility. In contrast, plant-based proteins such as legumes, grains, and vegetables may have a lower biological value due to their incomplete amino acid profile and lower digestibility. The differential between the low and high biological value can be important for individuals who need to consume sufficient amounts of protein for optimal health and fitness, such as athletes or people with certain medical conditions. Consuming a variety of protein sources can help ensure a balance of high and low biological value proteins in the diet.
What are low biological value proteins and in which foods are they mainly found?
Proteins with a low biological value are proteins which do not significantly result in growth by the individual that eats them. This is usually because the amino acids in the protein are not all present in the right amount. Foods with proteins that have low biological value include almost all plants. For example, cereal grains are low in the amino acid lysine, and so have low biological value by itself. Legumes are low in methionine. The plant with the highest biological value protein is quinoa.
What does high biological value mean?
well ....Low biological Value is where you are missing a serten amino acid in your diet :) there are 22 amino acids and only 6 of them are important :D thankyou for taking in mt answers :) x
What are hbv proteins?
Protiens of High Biological Value (HBV) contain all the essential amino acids in the correct porportions. Proteins of HBV are usually of animal origin, One execption is soya beans which has HBV proteins. Examples of HBV proteins are: Meat, Fish, Cheese, Milk, Eggs, etc.
What food contains high biological value protein?
MEAT
Proteins that act as biological catalysts are called?
Proteins that act as biological catalyst are called enzymes.
Which biological activity does NOT directly involve proteins?
Proteins are involved in all of them.
The group of biological molecules most diverse in function is?
proteins
Do grains have proteins?
Yes; grain synthesizes proteins to perform its biological functions.
Proteins that act as biological catalysts?
Enzymes
