Answer:
b. become part of the body's structural systems.
Explanation:
- Minerals are the inorganic regulators needed for different functions inside the body.
- Minerals donot provide energy but involved in generation of energ through their metabolic function. (Hence option A is excluded)
- They provide a good medium for the protoplasmic activities (permeability of cell membrane and normal functioning of cell)
- Maintaining bod fluid balance.
- For structural units.
- Cannot be degraded in the body neither can be destroyed while cooking ( Hence option c and d are excluded)
- They become the part of the body's strctral systems (Hence option B is the right answer)
Protein
Proteins are the most versatile
macromolecules in living systems and they play important roles in essentially
all biological processes. Protein makes up the capsid of a virus. The infective
extracellular form of a virus known as a virion contains at
least one unique protein synthesized by specific genes in the nucleic acid of
that virus. In almost all viruses, at least one of these proteins forms a shell
(called a capsid) around the nucleic acid. Certain viruses also have other
proteins internal to the capsid. Some of these proteins act as enzymes during
the synthesis of viral nucleic acids.
