Proteins are used for ____
A
Energy storage
B
Structures and enzymes
C
Energy supply
D
Information storage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are proteins comprised of amino acids linked together in one or more polypeptide chains. This sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is called the primary structure. This, in turn, determines the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme, including the shape of the active site.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are proteins that help speed up metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our bodies. They build some substances and break others down.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins serve as structural support, biochemical catalysts, hormones, enzymes, building blocks, and initiators of cellular death. Proteins can be further defined by their four structural levels: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.
