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.

The ratio of estrogen to progesterone remains constant throughout pregnancy into labor. false/true
Lady_Fox [76]

False,

In order to start labor, estrogen increases and progesterone decreases.

Estrogens are a class of hormones that are essential for women's healthy sexual and reproductive development. They are sex hormones as well. The majority of estrogen hormones are produced by a woman's ovaries, however minor quantities are also produced in modest amounts by the adrenal glands and fat cells.

Progesterone is a member of the progestin drug class (female hormones). By lowering the level of estrogen in the uterus, it functions as a component of hormone replacement treatment. By substituting for the natural progesterone that some women lack, it helps to initiate menstruation.
