Cellulose is the structural protein in plants.
What else can I help you with?
Which of these is an example of structural protein in plants?
Lignin
What is protein used for in plants?
proteins in plants are mainly enzymes and structural molecules. Cellulose is not a protein, but chloroplasts contain proteins. Hope this helps!
How do plants make protein?
Enzymes are proteins, as too are many structural parts of plants, and even organelles within cells are composed of protein. Nuts and seeds always contain large amounts of protein, as they need to support the plant in its first few days of 'life'.
What is protein keratin?
It a structural protein
What kind of protein is a collagen?
Structural Protein
Collagen is an example of which type of protein?
Collagen is a structural protein found in the body, giving strength and support to tissues such as skin, bones, and connective tissues.
Is collagen a structural protein?
yes it is.
What is the main structural protein for skin?
Keratin.
Is keratin a hormone?
No it is not a hormone. It is a structural protein
What are the function of keratin?
it is the structural protein of hair
What does NOT contain a structural protein?
A lipid bilayer does not contain a structural protein. Lipid bilayers are composed of lipids, such as phospholipids, arranged in a double layer that forms cell membranes and organelle membranes in cells. Structural proteins, on the other hand, provide support and shape to cells and tissues.
Is Lignin an example of structural protein in plants?
Lignin is not a protein but it the "cement" that binds cellulose together to give plants and trees its structural strength. Lignin offers rigidity (so trees have more lignin than plants) whereas cellulose offers load bearing capability (like iron rods in reinforced concrete). The equivalent of lignin in animals is collagen, which is a protein. An interesting fact linking these two structural support molecules, lignin in plants, and collagen in animals, is that both the biomolecules require oxygen for their synthesis. So nature could have only created multicellular organisms with structure after oxygen became abundant on earth. The abundance of oxygen itself was triggered by single cell bacteria that "excreted" oxygen when they made food from sunlight. So nature "bootstrapped" larger living creatures using the excretion of single cell life.
