Why antigens are made up of proteins?
They are made of proteins because the body has coded for them in that form. Usually genes code for proteins. This just the way the body works. Perhaps your question would have more information to ask for?
What nutrient is used by all cells in the body?
Proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. And, there are also micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. The best way to ensure you get all that your body needs is to eat a balanced diet.
An organelle consisting of a series of flattened sancs stacked somewhat like pancakes is?
It would be the Golgi Body, or Golgi Apparatus. The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and package macromolecules, such as proteins and lipids, after their synthesis and before they make their way to their destination; it is particularly important in the processing of proteins for secretion. The Golgi apparatus forms a part of the cellular endomembrane system.
What is the normal path way a cell uses to make and release proteins?
Ribosomes to Golgi Appartus(Body) to Endoplasmic Reticulum
Why do you require protein?
the reason why you need proteins is so that you can be healthy and it will maintain the correct minerals in your body. it will basically function Ur body the right way n you Will be healthy! hope that helps
How can a diet low in carbohydrates and fats affect the way the body uses proteins?
A diet low in carbohydrates and fats affect the way the body uses proteins by forcing the body to choose to burn proteins for energy. The body normally burns sugars first and then burns proteins.
What determines the primary function of a protein?
The way that a polypeptide folds to form the protein determines the proteins function.

How many amino acids are used in the synthesis of body protein?
They have varying numbers, as different amino acids form different polypetide chains, which form different amino acids in the way they become folded to suit their function
What is the primary way that HIV s affects the body?
it affects the immune system.
What is the primary way that the human virus HIV affects the body?
it attacks the immune system
What are proteins used for in the digestive process?
They are called enzymes. Enzymes allow the body to break down nutrients in a way that the body can use them, For example, starch is broken down into sugar; and the body will either immediately use the sugars for energy, or build them into fat and glycogen molecules for storage.
What are beneficial proteins?
Proteins are beneficail in a way that it builds the body and act as regulators and catalyst in the cell. Insulin is a proteins that can reduce glucose levels and the revere can be carried out by glucagon. Haemoglobin protein is another example for carrying oxygen to our cells.
How do carbohydrates spare protein?
This is a so-called role or function of carbohydrate in the body. However, it is incorrect to attribute action (other than chemical action) to carbohydrates or other inanimate substances. Besides, "sparing protein" is not a function or role of carbohydrates at all. Carbohydrates simply furnish our fuel or energy needs-and nothing more. What is being said in the textbooks is that proteins consumed will be used for tissue building and maintenance rather than being used as an emergency source of energy as long as the carbohydrate intake is sufficient. This is true, but it is only another way of saying that carbohydrates are the primary and most efficient source of energy or fuel and that it is best not to try to meet our fuel needs from proteins. It is stating the true fact that carbohydrates, not proteins, supply our primary nutrient needs. "Sparing proteins" is not a separate and distinct function or role of carbohydrates any more than preventing scurvy is a separate and distinct function of vitamin C in the body. Vitamin C supplies body needs, but its role is not prevention of scurvy or of anything else. Viewing nutrients as preventative agents of diseases is another way of saying that diseases are normal, that they are an inevitable part of life that will and must occur unless prevented by the proper nutrients. That is a backwards way of viewing health-it's the disease approach, or the medical approach. Just as good things happen to us if we think positive thoughts and visualize success, harmony, etc., good health will exist as long as we live healthfully-and that includes consuming the correct amounts of the foods to which we were biologically adapted in nature to eat. In short, the so-called "protein-sparing action" of carbohydrates is not only not an action, but sparing proteins is not a distinct role of carbohydrates separate from their energy-providing role.
