| Question or Term | Answer or Definition |
| Like carbohydrates and lipids, proteins consist of what 3 elements | Carbon, Hydrogen, & Oxygen |
| Unlike carbohydrates and lipids, proteins also always contain 1 other element, which is | Nitrogen, (sometimes Sulfur & other elements) |
| Proteins are built from smaller components or substances called | amino acids |
| Like Lipids, proteins consist of 2 main portions called | Common part and the R-group |
| For each amino acid, the common part is always | the same |
| For each amino acid, the R-group portion is | what varies, changes, or is different making it unique |
| The number of amino acids we know about | 50 |
| The number of amino acids required by humans to live | 20 |
| Of the amino acids needed for humans to live, how many are unable to be made or created and therefore can only be obtained from our diets | 8 |
| The amino acids which we can only obtain through our diet or food are | Luecine, Threonine, Valine, Tryptophan, Lysine, Methionine, and Isoleucine --Memory Aid-- LTVTLMI stands for Luckily, The Vital Proteins Must be Ingested. |
| De | to remove |
| Hydrate | water |
| Dehydrate | removal of water |
| Syntheses | to make or produce |
| Dehydration Syntheses | the make through the removal of water |
| Hydro | water |
| Lysis | to cut or take apart |
| Hydrolysis | cutting or taking apart using the addition of water |
| When two amino acids are linked together what is formed is known as | A peptide (Bond is called Peptide Bond) |
| The process of linking amino acids into Peptides is known as | Dehydration Syntheses |
| When multiple amino acids are linking together what is formed is known as | a polypeptide |
| The component that is responsible for dismantling proteins or combining amino acids into proteins is | Enzymes or specifically Proteases, Peptidases |
| The process of breaking down proteins is known as | Hydrolysis |
| The primary role or purpose of proteins in living things is | provide a source of building materials for structure |
| A common protein found in egg whites and our blood, which is responsible for maintaining appropriate amount of water in our bodies is known as | Albumin |
| A protein found in our blood that is responsible for cot formation is known as | Fibrin |
| Very important group of proteins that work to fight off diseases encountered by living things are known as | immunoglobulins (immuno = immune system & globulin = protein) |
| In mammals, the first milk produced by the mother is full of immunoglobulins and is known as | colostrum |
