The building blocks of protein are amino acids.

Amino acids are a class of organic compounds that contain at least one amino group, -NH2, and carboxyl group, -COOH.

Alpha amino acids , RCH(NH2)COOH, are the building blocks from which proteins are constructed.

The NH group of one amino acid and the COOH group of the other amino acid are joined together and a peptide bond -CONH- is formed between the two amino acids and the product is called a dipeptide.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
