Answer:

A

Explanation:

Proteins are large biomolecules produced in living cells. They are polymers made up of monomeric units called amino acids. Asides being structural components as highlighted in the question, complex proteins produced in living cells also serves as biological catalysts that regulates biochemical reactions in the body of living organisms. The protein that perform this function of regulating reactions is called ENZYME.

Catalytic enzymes affects the rate of biochemical reactions, without them, reactions will occur slowly or not at all. Enzymes, which can be anabolic or catabolic depending on whether they catalyze building up or breaking down of complex molecules respectively, are usually specific about what (substrates) they act on.

The amino acids that make up specific enzymes are modified into a three-dimensional shape. This shape determines its function and confers upon it the ability to speed up a reaction. An enzyme gets its name from the type of reaction they catalyze e.g. cellulose synthase catalyzes the synthesis of cellulose from glucose.

<h2>Sea star  </h2>

Explanation:

In the given example sea star played the role of keystone species

  • Robert Paine actually coined the term keystone species to describe the effect that the sea stars had on biodiversity in this community
  • Keystone species are those species which are least abundant but play a governing role to decide the structure and function of community
  • Loss of keystone species in a community can lead to disturbance in structure and function of a community and it cannot be recovered by other species
