5.4 Proteins

     Proteins are large macro molecules consisting of one or more long chains of Amino Acids(Polypeptides). Proteins have several functions in the body. They speed up chemical reactions(enzymes), defend the body against foreign agents(antibodies), communicate between cells or coordinate processes(messengers), provide structural support, and they can store and transport 'Nutrients'.
