Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the function of proteins?
A
They are used for cell to cell communication
B
They insulate the body, are used for short term energy and are found in glycogen
C
They are used as the structural components of the body (muscles and organs)
D
They create the cell membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These proteins provide structure and support for cells. On a larger scale, they also allow the body to move. These proteins bind and carry atoms and small molecules within cells and throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protein has many roles in your body. It helps repair and build your body’s tissues, allows metabolic reactions to take place and coordinates bodily functions. In addition to providing your body with a structural framework, proteins also maintain proper pH and fluid balance.

Detailed explanation-3: -The protein acts as a chemical messenger for the interaction between cells, tissues, and organs. Regeneration and creation of DNA molecules are done with the help of proteins. Receptors are made up of proteins that help in the interaction of a cell with other cells and the external environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Are Proteins Made Of? The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain (see below).
