Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The structure of biomolecules is closely related to the functions they perform in living cells. Which statement below best illustrates this concept?
A
Lipids may be saturated or unsaturated.
B
Carbohydrates such as starch are long chains of sugar monomers.
C
The active site of a protein enzyme precisely fits the shape of its substrate molecules.
D
Proteins may be made up of chains that are folded or coiled.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are a class of macromolecules that can perform a diverse range of functions for the cell. They help in metabolism by providing structural support and by acting as enzymes, carriers or as hormones. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Three-Dimensional Structure of Biological Macromolecules Determines How They Function. It is the three-dimensional shape of proteins and nucleic acids that endows them with their biological activities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -These complex molecules are typically made up of chains and rings that contain hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms, as well as carbon atoms. These molecules may consist of anywhere from 10 to millions of atoms linked together in specific arrays.
