Question

multiple - choice question
which of the following is not a function of proteins?
forming cellular structures
transporting materials
controlling chemical reactions
storing energy
sending chemical messages
rewatch

Explanation:

Proteins play roles in forming cellular structures (e.g., cytoskeleton proteins), transporting materials (e.g., channel and carrier proteins), controlling chemical reactions (enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts), and sending chemical messages (e.g., some hormones are proteins). However, the main molecules for storing energy in the body are carbohydrates (short - term, like glycogen) and lipids (long - term, like triglycerides), not proteins.

Answer:

Storing energy
