Answer 1

I think the answer is body tissue

Answer 2

Answer:

Body tissues/hormones

Explanation:

Excluding water and fat, the human body is made up almost entirely of protein. Protein is the main component of muscles, bones, organs, skin, and nails. Excluding water, muscles are composed of about 80% protein, making this nutrient especially important for athletes.

1) Protein hormones (or polypeptide hormones) are made of chains of amino acids. An example is ADH (antidiuretic hormone) which decreases blood pressure. 2) Steroid hormones are derived from lipids.
