A Few Functions Of Proteins:

1. They help to make up part of the structure of our bodies.

2. They can work as enzymes to help a particular chemical reaction take place or speed up a chemical reaction.

3. Essential body processes such as water balancing, nutrient transport, and muscle contractions require protein to function.

4. Proteins can be used as energy if there isn't enough energy from carbohydrates.

A Few Examples Of Proteins:

Enzymes are proteins but some foods made up of a lot of proteins are meat, milk and dairy products, fish, eggs, and peanut butter.

What is a funtional protein?

Proteins are nitrogenous compounds being made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Proteins also contain sulphur. In living systems proteins play an important role in the structural organisation eg., cell membrane, hairs, nails and muscles. Many of the proteins serve as enzymes. They are named as functional proteins.
