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)
What else can I help you with?
Proteins are digested to their building blocks which are called?
peptides which are constructed from amino-acids
Why are amino acids called amino acids?
Amino acids are called amino acids because they contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in their chemical structure. These two functional groups are essential for the formation of proteins and are characteristic of all amino acids.
What monomers make up protiens?
amino acid
What are amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism called?
Amino acids that cannot be produced by metabolism and must be obtained from the diet are called essential amino acids. There are nine essential amino acids that the body needs to obtain from food sources.
