If you do, i need to know two urgent things:
How many amino acids are in protein ?
What the function of iron (nutrition based) is.
Thanks.

Twenty amino acids are encoded by the standard genetic code and are called proteinogenic or standard amino acids. Other amino acids contained in proteins are usually formed by post-translational modification, which is modification after translation in protein synthesis.
Iron is essential to all body cells. Iron functions primarily as a carrier of oxygen in the body, both as a part of hemoglobin in the blood and of myoglobin in the muscles.

20 "standard" amino acids & the primary function of iron in the body is to transport oxygen.

Sounds like someone hasn't done their homework!
