Answer to Question 2

The vital ones are building and maintaining such as building muscle and bone, creating new tissue, replacing dead cells, providing immunity to the body, along with many others, such as enzyme and hormone production.

Incomplete protein sources (those that do not contain all the essential amino acids) include nuts, grains, seeds, and beans.
