Question

genes provide instructions for making clotting factor proteins. the diagram to the left is an example of just one of hundreds of thousands of different proteins made in the cells of your body. what other types of proteins do you think your body makes? list your ideas below. write here...

Explanation:

The problem is about identifying other types of proteins the body makes, related to biological processes. Proteins have various functions: structural (like collagen), enzymatic (e.g., amylase), transport (e.g., hemoglobin), immune (e.g., antibodies), and hormonal (e.g., insulin). These are key protein types in the body, each serving distinct roles in structure, metabolism, defense, etc.

Answer:

• Structural proteins: Collagen (provides structure to skin, bones, tendons), Keratin (in hair, nails, skin).
• Enzymatic proteins: Amylase (digests starch), Catalase (breaks down hydrogen peroxide).
• Transport proteins: Hemoglobin (carries oxygen in blood), Transferrin (transports iron).
• Immune proteins: Antibodies (fight infections), Complement proteins (aid immune response).
• Hormonal proteins: Insulin (regulates blood sugar), Growth hormone (regulates growth).
• Contractile proteins: Actin and Myosin (enable muscle contraction).
