[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
Proteins are polymers with a large range of structures and functions because
|
|
Each individual has a unique proteome
|
|
|
They can be folded into different three dimensional shapes
|
|
|
They are made of amino acids which are amphoteric
|
|
|
They contain the element nitrogen
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Like long strands of yarn quickly become tangled if not organized into balls, proteins that fail to adopt their functional structures in a timely fashion tend to misfold and clump together into aggregates. Many misfolded or aggregated proteins are toxic to cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins need a 3-dimensional structure because they act as enzymes and building blocks for cells. Proteins serve an important function as the structural units of cells. Just like bricks have a specific shape to provide structure to our homes, proteins have a specific shape to provide structure for cells.
