Question

What are the chemical functions of proteins and nucleus acids?

Answer 1

Proteins are vital to build, maintain, and repair body tissues. Nucleic acids are responsible for storing and transferring genetic information.

Explanation:

Protein functions are diverse :
1)they carry out regulatory activities as enzymes and hormones.
2)they help in other important activities such as movement of skeletal muscles, transport of oxygen, pigmentation of skin
3)protein interactions regulate enzymatic activity, control progression through the cell cycle and allow the assembly of large protein complexes that carry out any closely related reactions with a common biological function.
4)hair, skin, eyes, muscles, organs, antibodies, messenger components as well as structural components of the cell are made of proteins.

Functions of Nucleic acids:
1) is to use genetic material to direct the synthesis of new proteins.
2) is to control the synthesis of RNA in the cell
3) RNA directs protein synthesis
4) mRNA takes genetic message from RNA
5) tRNA transfers activated amino acids to the site of protein synthesis.
