LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -storage of glucose structure. All of the given are functions of proteins, except the storage of glucose structures.

Detailed explanation-2: -In general, protein is not a quick or efficient source of fuel, and since it can’t be stored, any protein consumed that doesn’t get used immediately is converted into fat for storage. Protein is still key to maintaining a healthy energy level as it impacts the way we metabolize other nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, we learned that proteins provide structure, regulate body processes, transport materials and help with immunity. Proteins are like the workhorses of the body, yet, they are so selfless that they would give up all they are to carry out their last function, which is to provide energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -All of these are functions of proteins except (d) storing genetic information of living things, which is the role of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Detailed explanation-5: -Proteins have multiple functions, including: acting as enzymes and hormones, maintaining proper fluid and acid-base balance, providing nutrient transport, making antibodies, enabling wound healing and tissue regeneration, and providing energy when carbohydrate and fat intake is inadequate.
