oxygen atoms.

backbone. - important for fats and proteins.

conditionally essential amino acid

Amino Acids:

acids, part of a protein.

, How do amino acids build protein?

● Peptide bonds

○ Link amino acids

● A string of about 10 to 50 amino acids is known as a polypeptide

● Strands of amino acids do not remain straight.

● Side chain electrically charged are attracted to water

● Several strands may cluster together into a functioning unit

○ A metal ion, a vitamin, or a carb molecule may join to build proteins.

● A protein molecule starts as a chain, then coils the strand, then folds the coil,

lastly adding a carb, vitamin, or mineral.

● Protein shapes enable performance of different tasks.

● Some protein strands work alone, while others need association
