Transcript
Essential amino acids and nutrition Name_____________________ 1. Consider why protein is needed and what amino acids and proteins are used for in the body. Describe the symptoms you would expect a person with protein deficiency to have. 2. Look at Table 1. Which amino acids does corn lack (not have)? Which amino acids do beans and legumes lack (not have)? 3. Vegans are vegetarians that do not eat any food from animals, including milk and eggs. Why must vegans combine foods from a variety of plant sources to avoid protein deficiency (for example rice and beans instead of only beans)? 4. A new protein supplement for athletes and weightlifters advertises that it is the best because it is made of “100% natural organic corn protein”. Why would this not be a good product for athletes and weightlifters?
