Proteins in solution (eg. in blood) bind a lot of water around them, thus preventing excessive amounts of water to be present in tissues or in peritoneal cavity etc.
When the blood is low on proteins (for instance in a case of malnutrition), blood doesnt have the "power" (so called oncotic pressure) to hold water, which can lead to an edema or a collapse of cardiovascular system.
This can be demonstrated for instance on some photos of African children suffering from malnutrition (in this case a diet very low on proteins), who have big bellies (water accumulating in peritoneum due to low blood oncotic pressure) and are therefor looking as if they were kind of fat. This symptom is called Kwashiorkor.

Which of the following types of white blood cells is thought to play a role in the prevention of clotting?
eosinophils
What role does the structure of RNA and DNA play in protein synthesis?
mRNA. tRNA,
What role does rna play in gene expression?
Carries information from the DNA to the ribosome for protein formation.
What role does cftr play in the body?
The CFTR gene provides instructions for making a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator.
What role does a gene play in the transfer of traits?
Genes produce proteins which, in turn, induce traits. Change the protein to change the trait.
What is the center of protein synthesis?
Ribosomes play important role in the protein synthesis.
What role does punishment play on classical thinking about crime and crime prevention?
pie
Which of the following types of white blood cells is thought to play a role in the prevention of clotting?
eosinophils
What role does ribosome play in a animal cell?
It helps make protein
Does the Golgi body play a major role in protein synthesis?
No. The Golgi bodies do not have a role. The main organelles involed in protein synthesis are the nucleolis, ribosomes, and mitochondria.
What role did quarantine play in yellow fever prevention?
He did a lot like for example He stopped it and make a cure
What role do genes play in protein sythesis?
Genes are the basic unit of protein production in the genetic code. They play a role as the primary protein synthesis unit since, according to classic genetics, a gene encodes a protein product. Although the reality is more complicated, the basic concept is true enough.
What role does the structure of RNA and DNA play in protein synthesis?
mRNA. tRNA,
What role does transcription play in protein systhesis?
Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis.
Which protein is responsible for rheumatoid arthritis?
DcR3 might play a role in the destructive course of RA
What role does rna play in gene expression?
Carries information from the DNA to the ribosome for protein formation.
How do epidemiologists play a role in the diagnosis treatment and prevention of chronic illnesses such as cancer or heart disease?
