Amino acids can be divided into essential amino acids (9 kinds) and non-essential amino acids (11 kinds). The human being should digest non-essential amino acids cause our body can not produce them.]]> 2021-08-18 00:14:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jyan0507/iswwa69gh9eh3113/wish/1683030219 Functions spra0995_2 https://padlet.com/jyan0507/iswwa69gh9eh3113/wish/1683032259 Helps us repair our tissues

Protein is a last-ditch fuel store
We don't "store" protein. It all has a function
Making protein has cost us a lot of energy]]> 2021-08-18 00:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jyan0507/iswwa69gh9eh3113/wish/1683068230 Intake spra0995_2 https://padlet.com/jyan0507/iswwa69gh9eh3113/wish/1683068708 For a normal adult, the daily protein intake is 1.16g/ kg, which means that a person weighing 60kg needs a minimum of about 70g/day.]]> 2021-08-18 00:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jyan0507/iswwa69gh9eh3113/wish/1683068708 Sources of Protein spra0995_2 https://padlet.com/jyan0507/iswwa69gh9eh3113/wish/1683073583 Lean Meats

- Antibodies can bind to and inactivate foreign substances such as pathogens and toxins (neutralization).  Also, antibodies activate the complement system to destroy bacterial cells by lysis (punching holes in the cell wall).

- Hormone. Some proteins act as hormones and adjust our body homeostasis. For example, insulin can adjust our blood sugar levels.

- Most proteins are enzymes. It relates to our daily life.

Bad effects
- Eating too much protein would cause many diseases, such as kidney damage and some kinds of cancer.]]> 2021-08-18 00:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jyan0507/iswwa69gh9eh3113/wish/1683076057
