Examples of functional proteins

Answer 1

A Few Functions Of Proteins:

1. They help to make up part of the structure of our bodies.

2. They can work as enzymes to help a particular chemical reaction take place or speed up a chemical reaction.

3. Essential body processes such as water balancing, nutrient transport, and muscle contractions require protein to function.

4. Proteins can be used as energy if there isn't enough energy from carbohydrates.

A Few Examples Of Proteins:

Enzymes are proteins but some foods made up of a lot of proteins are meat, milk and dairy products, fish, eggs, and peanut butter.

Answer 2

Functional proteins carry out a function in the body unlike structual proteins which produce structures (eg bones and muscles). An example of a functional protein is antibodies as they carry out the function of fighting off bacteria and virus'. Another example is hemoglobin which transports oxygen around the body. 

Answer 3

Enzymes such as amylase and catalase are functional proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions. Hemoglobin is a functional protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. Antibodies are functional proteins that help the immune system identify and neutralize pathogens.

Answer 4

A protein can come from any animal meat, or from raw nuts.

Answer 5

Examples of proteins are albumin, hemoglobin, and pepsin.

Answer 6

Antibodies
