of materials, act as enzymes to speed up biochemical processes,
structural role
, ◉ Amino Acid. Answer: Way proteins are formed by varying
combinations, 20 different kinds
◉ Each protein. Answer: has its own unique sequence of amino acids
◉ Essential Amino Acids. Answer: human body cannot produce
them, they must be taken in from the environment through other
sources (food you eat)
