Understand that proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body.
Recognize that proteins are composed of amino acids, which are organic compounds that combine to form proteins.
Identify that amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, forming a polypeptide chain that folds into a specific three-dimensional shape.
Acknowledge that proteins can function as enzymes, which are catalysts that speed up biochemical reactions in the body.
Clarify that proteins are not primarily used for storing genetic information or as the main source of energy; these roles are primarily filled by nucleic acids and carbohydrates, respectively.
