Question

Which statement correctly distinguishes the functions of proteins from other types of biomolecules?

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the four major biomolecules have the following different functions

1) Nucleic acid (as in DNA and RNA): They are a sequence of nucleotides that store organism's genetic code. This nucleotide sequence in turn determines an organism's protein sequence.

2) Carbohydrates: They are important structural components of various "compositions" in an organism (such as the cellulose in cell wall and ribose in nucleotide). They also serve as energy sources for the body.

3) Lipids: They also serve as energy sources and are part of membrane composition (as in the case of the phospholipid cell membrane).

4) Proteins: They are major structural elements of cells. They serve as enzymes in many biological activity (such as hexokinase in glycolysis and DNA polymerase in DNA replication). They also form hormones (such as insulin) and antibodies (such as the Immunoglobulins).
