    socratic.org/questions/what-are-some-examples-of-the-function-of-proteins

    There are countless functions that proteins fulfill. Listed below are the most common ones. Table summary: 1) Enzymes. Every process carried out in the body involves, at some point or entirely, a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions proceed according to a physical law known as Gibbs Free Energy. This law dictates that energy must be put into a system in order for a chemical reaction to take ...

    Protein: Provide structural support,transport, enzymes, movement, defense. The four macromolecules are nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. Structure: 1. Nucleic acids: Contain N in rings, nucleotides made of sugar, phosphate and nitrogenous base Carbohydrates: Made of C,H, and O; –OH's on all carbons except one Lipid: Made of ...

  5. Why are proteins important to cells? - Socratic

    Proteins have many roles in living cells, and these roles can be divided into structural and functional roles. Structural roles include forming the cell membrane and the cytoskeleton without which no cell can ever function. The functional role include the functioning of the enzymes and hormones that regulate all the processes inside the cell.

    proteins have amino acids as monomers proteins are made up of 21 different L-amino acids. these amino acids are joined together with peptide bonds. peptide bond is a bond between a caboxylic group of one amino acid with amino group of other amino acid. following is a figure to describe the structure of a single amino acid, where R -group is variable and can contribute for the amino acid to be ...

  8. How are proteins used in the body? + Example - Socratic

    There are so many uses of proteins in our body. 1.Structural Proteins: •Those are like keratin which is found in your hair and nails. • Collagen is another structural protein found in skin, blood vessels (to prevent them from bursting under blood pressure) and teeth. Fun fact: leather is preserved collagen. 2.Functional Proteins: •Those include enzymes that act as biological catalysts ...

  9. How the proteins are classified? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/how-the-proteins-are-classified

    Fibrous: long filamentous structural proteins such as #alpha#-keratin, and collagen Globular: spherical complexes of thermodynamically favored folding that maximize hydrophobic packing and minimize caged water interactions such as hemoglobin and immunoglobulin. Others involve the amino acids: Nonpolar, aliphatic: Pro, Ile, Leu, Ala, Glu, Val, Met

  10. What is the chemical formula for proteins? + Example - Socratic

    C9H 11N O3. This amino acid has a carboxyl and amino group with a central carbon and a characteristic side chain. If you know what proteins are made of, you should know just how many atoms they contain. Proteins are humungous macromolecules, rarely represented by chemical formulas. Proteins are made of amino acid sequences bonded together into ...

  11. What are the monomers and polymers of protein? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/what-are-the-monomers-and-polymers-of-protein

    Monomers - amino acids Polymers - proteins are polymers! A monomer is a single molecule that can be joined together with other same molecules to form a polymer. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which contain elements such as H,N,O,C, and more. They are the monomers of the proteins. When hundreds or thousands of amino acids join ...
