4. Function,order, and protein source.

Here we can see the function of

proteins, among other, as follows :

a. For growth and maintenance.

b. Ties for the formation of essential body.

c. To regulate the water balance in the body.

d. To maintain the neutrality of the body.

e. For antibody formation.

f. To lift the nutrients.

g. As an energy source.

Therefore, protein is very important in the human body, because the

human bial protein is not enough, then they will be suffering from
malnutrition.

Protein to the human body :

protein is an important role for the growth human. Important contained in

all living things. So in the absence of the protein can not be formed living
cells. Broadly speaking, the amount of protein for human use are as
follows:

a. To build a network of cells that the body of a baby born wighing 3 kg.
b. To replace cells that are worn or damaged.
c. To make milk, enzymes and hormones given the mother’s milk to their
babies made from the mother’s own food.
d. Making blood proteins, to maintain blood pressure osmose.
e. To maintain the balance of body fluids bases of acid.
f. As the giver of calories.
 Source of protein.

Source of protein for humans there are two, namely :

a. Source of animal protein.

Animal foods are good sources of protein, such as the number and
quality of eggs, milk, meat, poultry, fish, and shellfish.
b. Source of vegetable protein.
Food sources such as nuts, soy, and the result is like tempe, tahu, and
other beans.
5. For human protein needs.

Protein needs for humans can be determined by counting the number of

proteins in the body are replaced. This can be done by counting the
number of elements nitrogn (nitrogen) present in protein foods and also
calculate the amount of nitrogen which is released by the body through
urine and feces.
The use of proteins can be affected by many factors, so in practice the
amount of protein it can not meet the needs. Reason, among, others :
 18.75 grams protein content in the body it will cause a chemical
reaction can take place properly.
 Digestibility of protein it self. Not all foods that contain protein fibers of
the body can be taken. Because of the existence of these fibrs,
enzymes can not enter to break down proteins.
Based on the above considerations, it was determined that the protein
requirement for an adult is 1 grams for every kilogram of body weight
per day . for children growing up, need more protein, which is 3 grams
per kilogram of body weight.
In addition, given the existence of perfect and imperfect protein based
on the number and kinds of amino acids present in the diet, it is to
ensure that the body is really getting amine acid in an amount and
manner sufficient, preferably for an adult one-fifth of the required
protein must be derived from animal protein, whereas for children
protei-third of the amount they need.
