3. Protein
One of the essential substances for the growth of the body is protein.
Proteins are organic compounds composed of elements such as C, H, and O, and
sometimes containing elements S and P. One-fifth of our body is composed of
these organic compounds. Protein manages muscles and bones; some comprise
the skin and many other body parts. As the digestive process progresses, proteins
in the body are converted into simple molecules called amino acids. Sour, these
amino binds to each other and form peptide bonds. The bonds between these
amino acids are so long that polypeptide chains are formed.
Nowadays, amino acids make up proteins and are needed in the body of
about 20 kinds. Note Table 2. This amino acid is grouped into two types. The first
type, the amino acids that are necessary for the body and must be obtained from
the outside, is an essential amino acids. In comparison, the second type is an acid
amino that can be self-represented in the body, called non-essential amino acids.
Essential amino acids play a huge role in the growth and protection of the body.
