    Proteins are made up of amino acids and have important functions in the body like controlling reactions, regulating cell functions, forming bones and muscles, fighting disease, and transporting substances. They exist in three shapes - primary, secondary, and tertiary. Proteins are found in foods like eggs, almonds, chicken, oats, and Greek yogurt. While red meat is a good source of protein, it can also cause health problems due to its fat content, so choices like poultry, nuts, and limiting red meat are healthier options. The amount of protein needed depends on body weight but is generally around 7 grams per 20 pounds.

    REACTIONS FUNCTIONS AND MUSCLES  SUBSTANCES
    Proteins are
    polymers of
    molecules called
    amino acids
    There are 20 different amino
    acids in nature
    What are Proteins joined by?
    Proteins are joined by
    peptide bonds

    There are 3 major


    shapes to a protein

    1. Primary Proteins-
    Long thin lines of amino
    acids

    2. Secondary Proteins-
    are 3D folds

    3. Tertiary Proteins- are


    "globs"

    • Proteins are complex and large molecules that
