Proteins and Enzymes
  1. Proteins
    1. Made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen
      1. For growth and repair
        1. The basic units of a protein are called amino acids
        2. Enzymes
          1. These control chemical reactions within the body
            1. They are described as biological catalysts
              1. Amylase
                1. Starch>Maltose
                2. Lipase
                  1. Fats>Fatty Acids + Glycerol
                  2. Pepsin
                    1. Protein>Polypeptides
                    2. Phosphorylase
                      1. Glucose-1-Phosphate>Starch
                    3. Catalyst
                      1. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up reactions
                        1. A catalyst is unchanged by the reaction
                          1. A catalyst is often described as a key
