Question
which of the following is not a function of proteins? proteins in the human body proteins in the immune system • antibodies - fight invaders • complement system - system of 20 protein molecules that are activated during infections proteins in the muscle • actin and myosin - interactions with each other for muscle movement • myoglobin - release oxygen to muscles • ferritin - stores and release oxygen signaling proteins • cytokines - communicate with other cells proteins in the blood • hemoglobin - transports oxygen • fibrinogen - clots blood • albumin - maintain proper amount of liquid in blood enzymes • digestive enzymes - helps break down food structural proteins • cytoskeleton - network of protein filaments and tubules that maintain cell shape • keratin - found in skin, hair, and nails • collagen - provides strength • elastin - provides flexibility cell membrane • form channels for substances to move through membrane • act as enzymes • act as receptors • three types of proteins peripheral protein, integral protein, and lipid - bound protein (1 point) move substances into or out of cells control the rate of reactions store and transmit genetic information
Proteins can form channels for substances to move through the cell membrane (move substances into or out of cells) and enzymes (proteins) can control the rate of reactions. However, storing and transmitting genetic information is the function of nucleic - acids (DNA and RNA), not proteins.
