Part 1: 1. Proteins: a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms‚ especially as structural components of body tissues such as muscle‚ hair‚ collagen‚ etc.‚ and as enzymes and antibodies. Carbohydrates: any of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars‚ starch‚ and cellulose. They contain hydrogen and oxygen in the

2. Yes Janine is correct Unlike muscle tissue‚ your nervous system and brain cells do not store glucose for later use. Instead‚ they rely on a constant supply of glucose from your blood stream. In addition‚ they do not have the means to run on anything except glucose‚ so your dietary intake of carbohydrates is important for brain function. According to the Franklin Institute‚ nearly 10 percent of the energy needed by your body is to maintain nervous and brain system functioning.-source live strong

Adkins or Fadkins Case Study Part One – 1. Proteins - Proteins are chains of amino acids. In general‚ proteins may be structural proteins used to build tissues‚ they may be enzymes that mediate chemical reactions‚ or they may be hormones. Examples of proteins would be channel proteins in cell membranes‚ collagen protein in the skin‚ actin and myosin in the muscles‚ and hemoglobin in red blood cells. Types of dietary sources would be‚ meat‚ milk‚ (both of which are not pure proteins‚ but are
