Proteins come in many forms and have many functions. Their structure determines their function. They can be enzymes which create reactions (catalysts), they can be antigens, they can be the building blocks of tissues, such as in muscle tissue, they can be hormones, just to name a few.
They are what we rely on, and carry out all of the functions on a cellular level, and thus what makes us work.
Two functions of protein are growth and repair.

Yes, aquaporin is a protein that functions as a water channel in cell membranes.
The organelle that functions as a protein factory is the ribosome. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell by decoding the messenger RNA (mRNA) and assembling amino acids into polypeptide chains.
The ribosome is a cellular organelle that functions in protein synthesis, building proteins based on instructions from messenger RNA molecules. It serves as the site for translation of genetic information from RNA into proteins.
Protein domains are distinct sections of a protein that have specific functions, such as binding to other molecules or catalyzing chemical reactions. Motifs are smaller, recurring patterns within protein sequences that also have specific functions. Both domains and motifs play crucial roles in determining a protein's structure and function in molecular biology.
