Best Answer

There are two groups of protein. Proteins from animal foods contain all the essential amino acids in the proportions required by the body they are therefore known as "complete" or 1st class protein. Protein from plants do not always contain all the essential amino acids, and are known as "incomplete" or 2nd class proteins.
