Per 2 Protein Structure and FUNction by Casey Whisler https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07 Types of Proteins and what they do. Please pick 2. Put the "Description" in the title and the "Example" as the text. en-us 2021-01-14 17:04:15 UTC 2026-01-04 08:35:05 UTC hello@padlet.com Enzymes are proteins that construct and destruct molecules in cells. They work to perform actions such as digestion, growth and DNA replication. cwhisler https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088144309 Example:  lactase allows for infants to digest (break down) lactose in milk. ]]> 2021-01-14 17:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088144309 Transport Proteins move molecules and nutrients around the body asmith0647 https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088893315 Example: Hemoglobin in red blood cells picks up oxygen from the lungs and delivers it to all the tissues in the body]]> 2021-01-14 19:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088893315 Sensory Proteins gives us the ability to learn about our environment. They give us the ability to detect light, sound, touch, smell, taste, pain, and heat. On rare occasions some organisms can detect electricity or magnetism. https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088897991 Example- In the eye we have something called Opsins which help us detect light and can convert light energy into electrical and chemical signals to our brain.]]> 2021-01-14 19:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088897991 Structural proteins strengthen cells, tissues, organs, and more. vcole0043 https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088901933 Example: Collagen strengthens many parts of the body like bones and skin. It makes up about a quarter of the body's total protein.]]> 2021-01-14 19:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088901933 Storage Proteins store nutrients and energy rich molecules for later use asmith0647 https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088902163 Example: Gluten is a storage protein in the seeds of wheat, barley, and rye. This food gives the seedling a fast start.]]> 2021-01-14 19:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088902163 the motor keeps the cells moving and changing shape. they transport components around inside cells. cchichsaqui45771 https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088907012 Example: dynein and kinesin carry vesicles and other cargo around the cell like little highways]]> 2021-01-14 19:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088907012 Regulatory Proteins bind DNA to turn genes on and off. cwhisler https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088915995 Androgen and estrogen control genes that trigger puberty to begin. (Thanks a lot proteins!)]]> 2021-01-14 19:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088915995 Signaling proteins allow cells to communicate with each other https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088916060 example: the adrenergic receptor is activated by a non-protein hormone called adrenaline in times of stress. It signals heart cells to beat faster]]> 2021-01-14 19:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088916060 Signaling proteins allow cells to communicate with each other. Things like signals and receptors work to move information from the outside of a cell to the inside. vcole0043 https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088916499 Example: Insulin is released into the bloodstream after food is eaten. It activates the insulin receptor, which signals certain cells to store blood sugar.]]> 2021-01-14 19:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088916499 Battles Bacteria, heals damaged and evades predators- jazmin https://padlet.com/cwhisler/5rc4suv5coh9md07/wish/1088932416 Example; Battles the virus and bacteria that makes us sick
