Let's discuss first about difference between micro- and macro-nutrients. Micronutrients are those which are needed in small quantities and their function is not that vast.

Proteins are macro-nutrients because they are needed in large amount, as they are involved in some of the most important functions of our body. For example, proteins act as enzymes, involved in immunity, maintaining homeostasis of the body, etc. That is why they are considered as macronutrients.

Len [333]
<span>it is Cardiac muscle tissue. Cardiac muscle tissue is an extremely specialized form of muscle tissue that has evolved to pump blood throughout the body. In fact, cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and makes up the bulk of the heart’s mass. The heart beats powerfully and continuously throughout an entire lifetime without any rest, so cardiac muscle has evolved to have incredibly high contractile strength and endurance. And because the heart maintains its own rhythm, cardiac muscle has developed the ability to quickly spread electrochemical signals so that all of the cells in the heart can contract together as a team....</span>
