Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for daily source of protein is more important than daily source of carbohydrates or fats is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Many amino acids are linked together through amide bonds to form a biologically large molecule known to be proteins.

Amino functional group is $(-N{H}_2)$ and carboxyl functional group is $(-COOH)$ and a group is considered as side chain, when all these are bonded to same carbon atom.

Total recommended amount of protein needed for a person daily is $\text{0}\text{.8g}\text{per}\text{kilogram}\text{of}\text{body}$ weight.

Complete protein source provide each of the nine essential amino acid.

Complementary proteins are those that together supply of the essential amino acid.
