Fibrous proteins are proteins which are long, thin "rod" like in shape (fibres). These are insoluble. They are used for things like support and structure. E.g collagen
Wheras globular proteins are relatively small and globe like, these are soluble. They have many roles e.g Enzymes, Messangers, Transporter- Haemoglobin transports oxygen to cells.

Are enzyme typically fibrous protein?
no, they r globular proteins.
Could a protein have what is called a globular shape?
Tritiory proteins are globular proteins. Every enzyme is a globular proteins.
What type of protein is often used to carry other molecouls?
fibrous
What proteins are in globular proteins?
There are two class of protein based on their structure namely fibrous and globular. Globular proteins form a globe like spherical structure in contrary to rod like fibrous proteins (collagen). They are soluble in water and the structure is rendered by its three dimensional arrangement of amino acids in solution. Most of the enzymes, soluble hormones and factors fall into this class of proteins.
Which part of the membrane would help a large protein molecule enter the cell?
globular proteins .
Is collagen an example of globular protein?
No, collagen is a Fibrous protein. An example would be insulin.
What are some examples of fibrous protein?
Examples of fibrous proteins include keratins, collagens and elastins. Fibrous proteins are only found in animals. Fibrous proteins form 'rod' or 'wire' -like shapes and are usually inert structural or storage proteins. They are generally water-insoluble. Fibrous proteins are usually used to construct connective tissues, tendons, bone matrix and muscle fiber.
What are two kinds of protein?
The 2 major kinds are Globular and Fibrous
Globular or fibrous polypeptide chains are what type of protein structure?
Tertiary structure.
Properties of fibrous and globular proteins?
Fibrous proteins are formed from the folding of beta pleated sheets and have a secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure. Globular proteins are formed from the coiling of alpha helices and have a tertiary and quaternary structure.I hope that helps!!!
What type of organic macromolecule is an enzyme?
Many enzymes consist of a protein and a non-protein (called the cofactor). The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. They have tertiary structure and this type of globular protein includes immunoglobins, as well. The structures are held in place by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges and ionic bonds.
What is the special protein that transport oxygen?
hemoglobin
