Proteins are the workhorses of biological macromolecules. Some form enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions, which are necessary for metabolism. Others give cells structure and support, such as proteins in the cytoskeleton. They also play vital roles in cell signaling, immune responses, the cell cycle, and many other biological activities. You can think of it this way: Anything that you can describe happening in a living organism, most likely proteins are either making it happen or regulating it.

∙ 7y agoRemember that proteins are assembled at the ribosomes. Transfer RNA (tRNA) transfers amino acids to the ribosomes. Each of the three forms of RNA plays a distinct role in the production of those very important proteins. Proteins control biochemical pathways within the cell. They direct the assembly of lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleotides. Proteins also direct cell structure and movement, and it's DNA and RNA that direct the making of proteins.

Why is protein important to biochemistry?
Proteins are a major interest to scientists who study the chemistry of living things. All living organisms contain protein. Plants make the proteins they need from substances on the air and soil. Humans and other animals must obtain the building material for proteins from the food that they eat.
Where can hydrogen bond be found in living organisms?
in dna i.e between the bases of the polynucleotides in primary, secondary and tertiary structure of proteins

It is where pollution goes into the precipitation. It effects living organisms by the acid could make them die

They are proteins produced by living organisms.
How many proteins are there?
Proteins are molecules that feed living organisms. There are about twenty different kinds of proteins. Proteins are found in foods.
DNA and RNA are the two major acids present in living organisms?
yes they are.. they are responsible for the making of proteins,thus making them quite important!
Does all the living organisms are composed of proteins?
yes. for it to be able to live
What makes something that makes protein?
Proteins are made in every living cell, in every living organism. Living cells and living organisms are made of older cells/organisms.
Why is nitrogrn important to organisms?
Nitrogen is a building block of aminoacids, which in turn are the building blocks of proteins, one of the most abundant molecules in living things.

no. it is the other way around. living organisms are important to the rock cycle.

carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins
