Answer:

A function that does not correspond to proteins is energy.

Explanation:

Proteins are macromolecules, considered essential nutrients, which participate in the mechanisms of construction, development and repair of the body, among other functions.

The energetic function is not a fundamental function of proteins, although they can be considered an alternative source of energetic substrate. The main source of energy of the organism is constituted by the carbohydrates.

The other options certainly describe functions of proteins:

Build and repair . Proteins are the main components of muscles and connective tissue.
Transport molecules. Globulins are a type of proteins in charge of transporting essential substances, such as transferrin, an iron-carrying globulin.
Regulation of body process. Enzymes are formed by proteins and intervene in innumerable biochemical processes in the organism, as bio-catalysts.

When a colloid such as gelatin forms, which molecule does the process of protein coagulation entrap?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Water

Explanation:

When a colloid such as a gelatin forms, water is entrapped by the process of protein coagulation.

Colloids can be describes as particles of solid having spherical diameter between 1 and 100 nm which are dispersed in the liquid medium. Coagulation can be described as a process in which particles aggregate and lead to the formation of flocs. Flocs can either settle in water or can easily be seperated from water.
