Question
proteins are diverse molecules that perform a wide variety of functions. which of the following is not a typical function of proteins?
movement
energy storage
transport
catalyze reactions via enzymes
Proteins have multiple functions. Contractile proteins (e.g., actin and myosin) are involved in movement. Transport proteins (e.g., hemoglobin) carry substances. Enzymes (which are proteins) catalyze reactions. Energy storage is mainly the role of carbohydrates (e.g., glycogen) and fats (triglycerides), not a typical primary function of proteins.
