A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are 5 milliliters of compound A used for every 4 milliliters of compound B. If a chemist uses 255 milliliters of compound A, how many milliliters of the drug will be made?
----------------------------------
4:5 is the same as 4x:5x where 4x is compound A and 5x is compound B.
---
Solve for "x":
If amount of compound A is 4x = 255
x = 255/4
------------------------------
Then amount of compound B is 5x = 5(255/4) = 318.75 ml

C. Insulating the body
Insulating the body is not a function of a protein.
Lipids are macromolecules which provide insulation.
<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.

I apologize in advance if this is incorrect but what I was taught is that the correct answer is gather data to design a recovery plan.
