Large biomolecules and macromolecules known as proteins are made up of one or more extended chains of amino acid residues. Among the many tasks that proteins carry out in living things include catalysing metabolic processes, replicating DNA, reacting to stimuli, giving cells and organisms structure, and moving molecules from one place to another. The primary way that proteins differ from one another is in the order of their amino acids, which is determined by the nucleotide sequence of their genes and typically causes a protein to fold into a certain 3D structure that controls its activity.


Your body requires protein as a food in order to function properly and to help cells grow and repair.


You may get protein in a variety of foods, so it's crucial that you include a sufficient amount of protein in your diet each day. The amount of protein you require in your diet depends on your weight, gender, age, and state of health.


Eating a variety of foods will help you meet your protein demands. Protein in food is derived from both plant and animal sources, including:


eggs, beef, and fish



dairy ingredients



legumes such as beans and lentils, seeds, and nuts.

Water

What is water? Its the liquid that descends from the clouds as rain, forms streams, lakes, and seas, and is a major constituent of all living matter. Water Structure: A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom . ( H₂O ) Water Properties: - Surface Tension - Density - Polarity - Adhesion - Cohesion - Viscosity - Heat of Vaporization - Boiling Point - Specific Heat Capacity Importance of W ater: Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Drinking water can prevent dehydration, a condition that can cause unclear thinking, result in mood change, cause your body to overheat, and lead to constipation and kidney stones. Characteristics:  - Water is polar - Water is an excellent solvent - Water has high heat capacity - Water has high heat of vaporization  - Water has cohesive and adhesive properties - Water is less dense as solid than liquid  Benefits of drinking water: - Promotes weight loss - Flushes out toxins  - Improves skin co...
