Proteins have a variety of functions within a living cell. what are the possible functions of proteins, and how can proteins be so diverse?
(a) proteins are made of amino acids bonded together in a variety of ways and can function as enzymes, transport, and structure.
(b) proteins consist of monomers of glucose bonded together in a variety of ways and can function as energy, enzymes, and transport.
(c) proteins function as storage, movement, and defense and are diverse due to the arrangement of the nucleic acids.
(d) proteins function as insulation, protection, and defense and are diverse due to the arrangement of the fatty acids.

Ms. w, a 21-year-old woman, came into a clinic after suffering a deep laceration on her foot while walking barefoot around her yard. the wound was cleaned, sutured, and bandaged, and she was released to return home after receiving tetanus antitoxoid. within 72 hours, the wound area was red and swollen, the suture line was dark in color, and it was accompanied by severe throbbing pain. ms. w had a high fever, her heart felt like it was racing, and she was finding it hard to concentraten even on simple tasks. she returned to the clinic and was immediately taken to the hospital. following lab tests, a diagnosis of acute necrotizing fasciitis was made. discussion questions 1. explain why ms. w. received a tetanus antitoxoid before leaving the hospital. (see chapters 3 and 4, infection and passive immunity.) 2. explain how acute necrotizing fasciitis developed in this case and the pathophysiology involved. (see acute necrotizing fasciitis.) 3. what is the potential outcome for ms. w if antibiotic drugs do not reduce the infection quickly?
