Question

All of the following are functions of proteins EXCEPT
A) provide structure.
B) receptors.
C) carrier molecules.
D) chemical messengers.
E) storage of genetic information.

Accepted Answer

Proteins are not involved in storage of genetic information, which is carried out by nucleic acids. Proteins function as structural components of cells and tissues, enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions, receptors that recognize and respond to specific molecules, carrier molecules that transport substances within the body, and chemical messengers that coordinate cellular activities.
