Answer;

-Ability to catalyze biochemical reactions

Explanation;

-Carbohydrates and proteins are very important macromolecules that the body needs in significantly larger quantities together with lipids, as compared to other nutrients like vitamins or minerals, for a healthy life.

-Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and they are required by the human body as an energy source, while are organic compounds made up of interlinked chains of amino acids, which consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Apart from the structure and element composition, carbohydrates and proteins differ in a number of ways, these includes; carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel that enables it to function, proteins are the building blocks of the body.

Carbohydrates are needed by the body to make it run and function, while we need proteins to keep our muscles and glands healthy. Additionally, proteins have the ability to catalyze biochemical reactions a major feature that differentiates it from carbohydrates and other macromolecules.

Why is soil important?  Soil is our life support system. Soils provide anchorage for roots, hold water and nutrients. Soils are home to myriad micro-organisms that fix nitrogen and decompose organic matter, and armies of microscopic animals as well as earthworms and termites.

What is soil erosion?  Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water (Figure 1) and wind (Figure 2) or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.

what human activities are responsible for soil erosion happening at advance rates?     Ploughing, unsuitable agricultural practices, combined with deforestation and overgrazing, are the main causes of human-induced soil erosion

What are some effects on soil loss?  The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

What can be done to prevent soil erosion?   Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover.

Mulching.

Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. ...

Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain.

Explanation:  Hope this helps and have a great day
