Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: 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-2: -However, proteins do not provide energy for metabolism.
Detailed explanation-3: -They also assist with the formation of new molecules by reading the genetic information stored in DNA. Messenger proteins, such as some types of hormones, transmit signals to coordinate biological processes between different cells, tissues, and organs. These proteins provide structure and support for cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: No, proteins do not store genetic information or transmit to the next generation. The genetic information is stored in the form of nucleic acids i.e. deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) or ribonucleic acids (RNA).
