We find out about protein's importance in building and repairing body tissue, and about the amino acids that form them. The difference between plant and animal proteins are highlighted, along with the nine essential amino acids we all need in our diets. Stefan Gates extracts the solid protein from an ordinary glass of milk. This clip is from the BBC series Gastro Lab. Stars of stage, sport and screen reveal the foods that keep them at the top of their profession, while presenter Stefan Gates explores the world of nutrition with experiments that will make tongues tingle, stomachs churn and hair stand on end.

KS4 Biology Strict vegetarians called vegans get their protein from plant based sources, such as beans, nuts, lentils and pulses. Students can be asked to choose a recipe that is usually made with animal based proteins and modify it for a vegan. KS3 Design and Technology / 2nd Level Technologies Students can be asked to look up some recipes to show how complete (animal based) proteins foods are complemented by incomplete protein foods (plant based), for example, pasta with a meat sauce. This clip will be relevant for teaching Biology and Food Technology at Key Stages 2, 3 and 4 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 2nd , 3rd and 4th Level and National 4 and 5 in Scotland. ===================== For more clips from other subjects at the BBC Teach YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/bbcteach More from BBC Learning Zone: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone More resources from BBC Bitesize: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education ===================== Subscribe to create your own customised playlists, and get notified about our latest clips.
