Proteins are one of four classes of biological macromolecules. Which of the following statements regarding proteins is NOT true?

A. Amino acids are the monomers of proteins.

B. Proteins contain nitrogen as well as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

C. Proteins have only one specific function- to regulate the rate of biochemical reactions.

D. Protein monomers have a carboxyl group on one end and an amino group on the other.

Enzymes (which are a form of proteins) have a function of regulating the rate of biochemical reactions (they're biological catalysts, meaning they speed up reactions) ₋ in this instance, the statement would be correct.

However, this is not the only, or as the statement puts 'one specific function' of an protein. For example, haemoglobin (a protein) contains haem groups that bind to oxygen. In this instance, a protein's function has nothing to do with 'biochemical reactions'.

Hope that helps! x

Proteins having only one specific function which is to regulate the rate of

biochemical reactions is False.

Proteins are compounds which contain elements such as Nitrogen, Carbon,

Hydrogen and Oxygen. They act as the building block of life as they are

needed to replace worn-out tissues, supporting tissues and for growth

processes which is different from the function of regulation of biochemical

reactions.

Protein is formed as a result of the combination of two or more amino acids

which have carboxyl and amino groups present on different ends. Protein

have various functions such as supporting tissues.
