C. Insulating the body
Insulating the body is not a function of a protein.
Lipids are macromolecules which provide insulation.
<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.

Answer:
they have cell walls as an outer boundry
Explanation:
the cells of all living things do not have cell wall. animal cells do not have cell wall. protozoans also do not have cell wall. while cells of plants algae fungi and bacteria have cell wall.
Answer:
c. Pyridostigmine binds to the acetylcholinesterase active site and prevents sarin from binding to and modifying the enzyme active site.
Explanation:
Sarin is a toxic compound which inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzyme. This enzyme degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine after the required muscle cell stimulation. In absence of its activity, acetylcholine is not degraded and the muscle cells are stimulated uncontrollably. The muscles are not able to relax which ultimately proves fatal for the victim.
Pyridostigmine is also an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor like Sarin. However its period of inhibition is short compared to organophosphorus inhibitors like sarin. It competes with sarin and replaces it in the active site of acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme is still inhibited but for a shorter time as compared to inhibition by Sarin. Hence after sometime, it becomes functional again and resumes its normal activity. Acetycholine starts getting degraded relaxing the muscles.
It will cause vasodilation of blood vessels in the brain.
CO2 is one of the metabolic end products that can alter the
tone of the blood vessels in the brain. High CO2 levels cause vasodilation,
which may cause headache, whereas low CO2 levels cause vasoconstriction, which
may cause lightheadedness. The statements included in the other options are
incorrect effects.
