Discuss the role of proteins in enzyme function.
Enzymes are made of carbohydrates, not proteins
Enzymes do not require specific active sites to function
Proteins are not involved in enzyme function
Proteins serve as catalysts for biochemical reactions and provide the structure and specific active sites necessary for enzymes to function.
What are some common signs of protein deficiency?

Muscle weakness, fatigue, slow healing of wounds, swelling, weakened immune system
Decreased fatigue, reduced muscle weakness, improved mood
Weight gain, improved immune system, faster metabolism
Explain the concept of protein complementation.
