Three days after an organism eats some meat, many of the
organic molecules originally contained in the meat would be found in newly
formed molecules of protein. Proteins are important for all living beings
because it is like a fuel source to the body. Proteins are made of amino acid
chains and these chains are bonded together with the help of peptide bonds. Proteins
also help in the development of tissues in the body. Athletes require more
protein than normal humans to keep up their body strength.
