Explanation:

Protein transporters helps in the movement of nutrients ,minerals in the. Glucose transporter is an example of transport protein it helps transport glucose in the cell.

Protein has about 4kcal/g of energy. The energy is stored but are mostly used when an individual is fasting and had used up his energy.

Protein act as buffer they help to regulate the amount of acid and base in the body fluids. Heamoglobin is an example of buffer protein that act by binding to acid thereby maintaining the blood pH. Protein are enzyme and they help catalyze chemical reaction and used in metabolic activities in the body. They also main body fluid albumin and globulin help maintain the body fluid.
