Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The reason should be explained for considering corn and peas as complementary proteins.
Concept Introduction: The proteins that are formed by the combination of two or more incomplete proteins are said to be complementary proteins. To get all the nine amino acids into a vegetarian's diet, protein complementation is the most effective way.
(b)
Interpretation: The reason should be explained for considering rice and soy as complementary proteins.
Concept Introduction: The proteins that are formed by the combination of two or more incomplete proteins are said to be complementary proteins. To get all the nine amino acids into a vegetarian's diet, protein complementation is the most effective way.
