Amino acids make up proteins. Proteins functions are to:
- Help repair body cells
- Help make enzymes
- Providing energy when carbohydrates and fats have run out
- Help build the body
- Transport mediums (such as Haemoglobin transporting oxygen)
- Storage molecules (iron is stored in the liver as a protein)
