Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Proteins that store amino acids ____
A
defense proteins
B
structural proteins
C
enzymatic proteins
D
storage proteins
E
motor proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some storage proteins store amino acids. Storage proteins’ amino acids are used in embryonic development of animals or plants. Two amino acid storage proteins in animals are casein and ovalbumin. Seeds, particularly of leguminous plants, contain high concentrations of storage proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Glutelin’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant storage proteins can be classified into two classes; seed storage proteins (SSPs) and vegetative storage proteins (VSPs).

Detailed explanation-4: -When in excess, the amino acids are processed and stored as glucose or ketones. The nitrogen waste that is liberated in this process is converted to urea in the urea acid cycle and eliminated in the urine.
