    Study Notes

    Proteins

    • Proteins are considered macromolecules due to the large proportion of nitrogen they contain.
    • The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

    Composition of Proteins

    • Proteins are composed of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
    • Nitrogen is a key element found in proteins, making up a large proportion of their composition.

    Sources of Proteins

    • Major sources of protein include meat, dairy products, eggs, fish, and legumes.

    Function of Proteins

    • The primary function of proteins in the cell is to provide structure, regulate metabolism, and respond to stimuli.

    Amino Acid Bonding

    • Amino acids in a protein are linked by peptide bonds.
