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