Protein is required for the growth and maintenance of tissues.
Enzymes are proteins that allow chemical reactions to take place within your body.
Amino acid chains of various lengths form protein and peptides which make up several of your body’s hormones and transmit information between your cells, tissues and organs.
A class is proteins known as fibrous proteins provide various parts of your body with structure, strength and elasticity.
Proteins act as a buffer system, helping your body maintain proper pH values of the blood and other bodily fluids.
Proteins in your blood maintain the fluid balance between your blood and the surrounding tissues.
Proteins form antibodies to protect your body from foreign invaders, such as disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
Hope this helps :)
Answer: space or shelter, ability to reproduce
Explanation:
To substances that are bonded together but can be taken apart
Answer: True
Explanation:
<u>A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer made of polar phosphate head and a nonpolar lipid tail.</u> It is semipermeable and regulates the transport of materials through it. For this,<u> it is selectively permeable</u> and since it is made of lipids, hydrophobic and small polar molecules can diffuse easily through it by simple diffusion and down their concentration gradient. However, polar molecules, large molecules (such as glucose) and ions are not able to pass through it because they are repelled.
To accomplish the transport of these molecules that can not diffuse, proteins embebbed in the membrane function as carriers that enable the transport of polar molecules, large molecules and ions by passive (through facilitated diffusion, down its concentration gradient) or active transport (movement against its concentration gradient).
Biomolecules are organic compounds that are present as essential components of living things. There are four major biomolecules namely lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Proteins, lipids and glucose are usually used by organisms as energy sources as well as structural components among other functions in living organisms. Nucleic acids are important components that bring about heredity. In this case the appropriate molecule to be chosen by the long distance learner would be carbohydrate because it stores and may be used as a source of energy.
