Hormones are proteins that regulate many functions in the body, such as growth and cell differentiation. Which of the following does NOT describe a function of proteins in living organisms?

Answer Options:

Proteins store energy long term, provide lubrication, and insulate the body Proteins in the form of enzymes catalyze chemical reactions Proteins provide structures in the body, such as hair and muscles Proteins in the cell membrane help transport substances into and out of cells Proteins store energy long term, provide lubrication, and insulate the body

Explanation:

Proteins store energy long term, provide lubrication, and insulate the body  - this is false, this describes the role of fats. Proteins in the form of enzymes catalyze chemical reactions  - this is true, enzymes are an important class of proteins in the bodyProteins provide structures in the body, such as hair and muscles  - this is true, for example our hair is made of a protein called keratin Proteins in the cell membrane help transport substances into and out of cells  - this is true, proteins form important pumps and channels in the cell membrane

Cell division is important to single celled organisms because it allows the cells to reproduce. through cell division, cells make exact copies of themselves. when single celled organisms go through cell division, they make exact copies of themselves which is how they reproduce.
