Question 1 • Anatomy & Physiology A

Which of the following describe proteins? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
a large class of molecules made up of sugars
B
a type of molecule that can initiate or assist other processes in the body
C
a large class of molecules made up of amino acids
D
a molecule that stores the information for the creation and functioning of cells

Explanation

Proteins are large molecules built from chains of amino acids, so choice C is correct. Many proteins also initiate or assist processes in the body, such as enzymes speeding up chemical reactions, making choice B correct. Sugars are carbohydrates, not proteins, and DNA stores genetic information, so A and D do not describe proteins.
